Fairytales without the Happy Ending??


I know many of us remember when we were younger hearing several stories that always started out with the "Once upon a time..." and they always ended with "and they lived happily ever after" "Happily ever after" what does that even mean? Does our generation understand the real meaning of being happy? I was talking to my girl Morgan tonight about, what else, Boys. We tend to have these discussions whenever something goes down with us and the boys we LET into our lives. I guess you can say I value my friend opinions about things but in the end it's me who determines the ending result. But today Morgan, mentioned something that I had to agree on, "There is no such thing as princesses and they don't find their prince." Now at first I thought that as a little cold, but I must admit it has some truth. What if we didn't have these fairy tales and these dream lives that our parents filled our heads with when we were younger, would male and females have a better understanding of each other? Now this might be a far fetch idea but hey I'm just wondering. How could we dream of something, if we never were introduced to it?

Now I guess you can call me a realist more so than a dreamer because I don't believe in fairytale endings. I rather keep my heads out of the clouds and focus on realistic goals. But for real, is it really far fetch to dream of prince charming? Adults might say that we're too young to be thinking about love and everything, but how can you put an age on that? I'm not going to lie, I've been in love once and although it ended, I wouldn't trade that feeling for the world. It's a great feeling, but some take it for granted and some don't understand it. Our generation thinks of love as a fad or something that they think is suppose to happen to them. That's not the case at all. Love is a privilege and a gift from God; if you use it the wrong way, he will take it away from you.
