Do you believe in a fairy tale?
When i was a kid i believed in fairy tales.
I guess every kids adore and "worship" fairy tales.
That fantasy of what your life would be.
Here's my fantasy about fairy tales when i was a kid...
I always imagine myself as a knight wearing a shiny steel armor that can't be pierced by any weapons.
Posses a fast and swift white stallion, a beautiful princess that i fell in love with, and of course she's falling for me too! Hehehe...
And as for my remarkable action, i ride my horse, dazzling swiftly hither and tither with one hand swinging my mighty and luminous Excalibur to a horde of villain, a swarm of evildoer, a throng of scum-bag, and any obstacle that gets in my way,
while my other hand held my lovely princess tenderly :P
When the night is getting nigh, i'd carry her away to my splendid and majestic castle on top of the hill.. and just like any other fairy tales..
Of course we live happily ever after...
In reality? Well, what can i say?
Reality is a poor substitute for my dreams :))
I don't have a shiny or glistening armor, surely don't posses a castle...
and of course i don't have a horse, not even a pony!
How am i suppose to carry my beautiful princess? ( naek sapedah kumbang atawa beca?! )
and right now i'm wondering to myself...
Is there any girl out there who consider me as her knight in a shining armor? Mwahaha...
Well, so much for my fairy tales.. hehehe...
Okay.. let's go back to when we were a kid
When you were a kid.. you'd lie in bed at night and close your eyes,
and then you had complete and utter faith.
Knight in a shining armor, the super heroes, beautiful princess, prince charming, the castle,
they were so close, you can even taste them.
But eventually, you grow up ( can't avoid that ) hehehe...
One day you open your eyes, and the fairy tale disappears without a trace.
and what did you do about it?
Well.. most people turn to things and people they can rely upon.
Things and people they can trust.
But the thing is...
it's hard and distressing to let go of that fairy tale entirely.
cause nearly everyone still has that smallest bit of hope, of conviction, of faith,
that one day they'll open their eyes and it will all come true.
At the end of the day, i think faith is a comical and funny thing.
It appears when you don't really expect it.
I mean, it's like one day you become aware or realize that the fairy tale
maybe just slightly different than you dreamed.
That's what i mean with when fairy tales and faith collide.
The castle? well... it may not be a castle.. just a tiny but lovely and cozy shack.
The prince charming? Hmm... perhaps not so charming but still cute though.
The beautiful princess? maybe not so damn beautiful, just a sweet girl that makes you happy.
And it's not so considerably important that it's happy ever after.
Just that it's happy right now.
Happy is a good thing, and everyone wants to be happy, right?
See, once in a while,
once in a blue moon, ( real ) thing and people will surprise you.
And the rest you're just...
just gonna have to take on faith.
and once in a while...
people may even take your breath away...
And if you still wonder...
"Why can't i just be that happily ever after person?"
Why can't you believe that?
The answer maybe... just maybe...
cause you don't know what to believe anymore..
It has occasionally been remarked upon that it is as easy to overlook something large and obvious as it is to overlook something small and niggling, and that the large things one overlooks can often cause problems.. ( From Stardust by Neil Gaiman )
