I believe that fairy tales do not come true.
I feel that believing in fairy tales causes nothing but heart ache.
I should know, I once believed in them.
I once believed that a handsome prince would ride up on his white charger (metaphorically speaking) and take me away.
I believed he would sweep me off my feet with one perfect kiss and we would live happily ever after.
Now, of course that did not happen and the pressures I put upon myself as well as the pressures of a society obsessed with “happily ever after’s” caused me to accept a less than healthy relationship.
When I believed in fairy tales I was miserable.
I was always waiting and watching and hoping.
When I put fairy tales aside and started believing in myself and all the wonderful things that are out there I became much happier.
I write my own story now, with my own beginnings and endings instead of passively waiting for an anonymous author to plan out my life.

I don't believe in fairy tales.
There are only make-believe.
I want to believe in them.
I have had fairy tale moments but
overall I live in reality.

Good post.

Thank you April.

Kristen we all have days like that, I hope you are feeling better today.

Blessed you make me smile, at first you say that fairy tales are make believe but then in the next sentence you say you want to believe in them.

Pirate, I think I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
