What Happens in Fairy Tales

You shouldn't lie to yourself. You shouldn't lie to others. This is what we are told since we are old enough to listen. Yet, we grow up doing exactly that without even knowing better. We grow up with "Happily Ever After" so we expect it but, more often than not its not there. We grow up waiting to be swept off our feet but we keep standing and waiting. The sum of it all is depressing but, once you come to terms with it it's tolerable, just like anything else life throws at us.
