dreams of a fairy tale.

i wonder. why little girls dream of life as a fairy tale.

and why those fairy tales that are dreamt rarely come true.

life is messy. life throws a cliff in front of you every once in awhile.

basically, life is not the fairy tale every little girl dreams of.

and in your mid-twenties that reality hits hard.

graduated with a bachelors. graduated with a masters. and at the tender age of 24.

and yet, life is not the fairy tale dream.

reality leaves us with thoughts. with concerns. with messiness. with 9 hours of dance music a day and a necessary glass of wine upon entry into ones current apartment.

wondering how to proceed. wondering what the next step should be. wondering (always) why my fairy tale has yet to come true (and if it ever will).

(but then i ponder: what would my life be without my fairy tale dream).
