GOODBYE FAIRYTALES, HELLO REALITY!
And they lived happily ever after, -- this is how fairytales always end: a HAPPY ENDING. Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, Ariel, Aurora and all other princesses in our fairytales play as damsels in distress and are always found and saved by their prince charmings. the evil stepmother, the evil witch and all other villains are always defeated then our princes and princesses are always married at the end , always having a happy ending.
All of us wish we are living in fairytale world. we all wished for a happy ending. Girls always wished for their handsome prince charmings to come and save them from their miseries and boys are also searching for the right girl for them. well, back to reality, is there such thing as a happily ever after ending? well, i am not quite sure that there is such thing.
Most of the girls in the real world don't act anymore as damsels in distress. girls are more practical and more aggressive these days. they are stronger, they fight for themselves, and don't wait for their prince charming to save them.
On the other hand, boys or most boys in the real world are not into fighting dragons, crossing oceans, climbing mountains, fighting evil forces or defeating demons just to be with their princesses anymore. also, unlike the handsome prince, we cannot deny the fact that there are so many "PLAYERS" in the real world, acting as if everything is just a game.
In fairytales, for one meeting, just one, the princess and the prince fall in love with each other and the prince asks for the princess' hand in marriage. in reality, love is not like that. Love is developed between two people by the times they spent together and one doesn't ask another's hand for marriage with just one meeting. in the real world, there are things such as divorce, break-ups, cool-offs which doesn't exist in fairytales. in the real world, everyone should be practical. in the real world, when your partner suffers from a disease or something, "true love's kiss" can't save him or her unlike in fairytales. there are a lot more things to be considered more than just love you feel for each other. money is needed in the real world and there are also a lot more things needed.
Well, fairytales are just people's way of giving life to their dreams or fantasies wherein the ending is what they wanted it to be. there is no harm in being amazed with fairytales but we have to consider the fact that we are in the REAL WORLD. not all things have a happy ending; sometimes, it's just ONCE UPON A TIME.
