Fairy Tales

"Once upon a time....." thus begins a fairytale and ends with the most expected and most loved statement "...and they lived happily ever after!:-)"
Sounds happy...sounds satisfactory.
I was just wondering how would my story sound???
"Once upon a time there lived a li'l gal with her parents in a small cottage on the edge of the woods....blah! bhah!! blah!!!"
This definitely wont be how my story would be..
1. Bcoz it was never so simple and sweet as a fairy tale
2. There was never a "happily ever after" end.....not till date
Fairy tales fascinated me a lot in my childhood. Infact they did have an influence on my young mind. All those beautiful castles, Prince Charmings and fire breathing dragons would come alive in my imagination every now and then and felt more realistic than this "nothing's happening" world around me
From the time where the fairy tales were as real as reality to "wish-they-come-true" and to finally today's "I have grown out of them" my thinking has evolved along with time. I no longer believe in the beautiful Princesses trapped in castles and the handsome Princes and their noble steads but I never gave up on the morals which formed their base...which they always showcased.
The choice of being good or evil is always present at every step we take. It is our choices that make us either evil and take us down with every passing day or good and help us evovle to be better and spread the goodness in us across this world. It is always the triumph of good over evil and it is good that always prevails are the lessons i took to heart and never stopped believing in.
Though the definition of being good keeps changing every now n then Im true to myself n never faltered from these morals and will never stop believing or hoping for my perfect "happily ever after":-)
