Fairy Tales Believer.

 When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. 
In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. 
In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. 
The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. 


Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. 
You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; 
he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.

 I have very happy memories of fairy tales. 
My mother used to take me to the library to check out the fairy tales or
 open up the CD player to repeat hundred times of the same story and I never try to get bored. 
And she was an actress, so she used to act out for me the different characters in all these fairy tales. 

If you happen to read fairy tales, 
you will observe that one idea runs from one end of them to the other--

the idea that peace and happiness can only exist on some condition. 
This idea, which is the core of ethics, is the core of the nursery

Fairy tales are experienced by their hearers and readers, not as realistic, but as symbolic poetry.
To me, a fairy tale always seems to have become reality. 

 Dear Prince, I must leave you, but I will never forget you, 
and next spring I will bring you back two beautiful jewels in place of those you have given away.
The ruby shall be redder than a red rose, and the sapphire shall be as blue as the great sea.

If you see the magic in a fairy tale, you can face the future.
I'd imagine my wedding as a fairy tale... 
Huge, Beautiful and White and with Love.
