"We all remember the bedtime stories of our childhoods. The shoe fits Cinderella. The frog turns into a prince. Sleeping Beauty is awakened with a kiss. Once upon a time. And then they lived happily every after. Fairy tales. The stuff of dreams. The problem is, fairy tales don’t come true.
It’s the other stories. The ones that begin with dark and stormy nights and end in the unspeakable. It’s the nightmares that always seem to become reality.
The person that invented the phrase “Happily ever after,” should have his ass kicked – so hard."
I couldn't have said it better myself! We grow up thinking that life is really nothing more than a book of fairy tales and go around searching for our prince charming...do we ever really find him? In the end all we really want is to be happy, to find that special someone that makes our heart skip a beat each and every time we see that person. Once we find that special someone, that someone that gives us butterflies each and every time...we do everything we can to hold onto that person. Unfortunately though, we don't always end our stories with "Happily ever after". Our stories are compiled with chapters of ups and downs, sadness, despair, good friends and not so good friends but most importantly...lessons learned. Never forget the past, its made you who you are today. Don't resent the Knight in shinning armor that turned out to be nothing but a jerk in tinfoil...he only helped to make you stronger.
We make our own story, our own happy endings and our own fairy tales.
