Castles in the sky

Fairytales don't exist, they aren't real and are just a figment of an over active imagination...stories dreamt up to help children drift off to a land of magic and mystery where the beautiful princess is always saved by the handsome prince and they always, always live happily ever after....

Who says they don't - or can't - exist?  I think they do!  I believe that everyone can have their very own fairytale if they want it enough.  Even the hardest of hearts can melt when faced with the possibility of having and holding onto their very own piece of magic.  So now...right now...I'm sending out a wish (in advance of Christmas but I'm sure Santa won't mind) for my very own fairytale.  Mine, all mine! 

Now, I'm not stupid enough to believe that if I sit still and wait like a good little girl I'll eventually get what I want.  I know that here in the real world we all have to put in the hard work if we expect to get the things we want, it's only right after all that we do our bit too.  Then when the day comes around when you're faced with your fairytale it'll be all the more special because you know you earned it and it wasn't just handed to you on a silver platter.

That's life in the 21st century, isn't it?  There are still castles in the sky, still dragons to slay and enemies to defeat but at the end of the day when the sun sets behind that castle and all is right with the world once again, we can all have a little piece of magic to call our own.  Whoever it's with and whatever it looks like...doesn't it seem worth a shot?  Wouldn't you rather give it everything than just leave it to fate?  Because that's what I fully intend to do.  I'm going to get up off my ass, pull my finger out, stop feeling sorry for myself and go out there and get my fairytale myself...no one else is going to do it for me and I'm not leaving anything to fate.
