I'm a big fan of Walt Disney. Everything about their whole themes and ideas create a magical world for the hearts of little girls.
Little girls have their own lessons in storybooks, you see.
Cinderella taught us that dreams do come true and that there are boys out there who are willing to search and chase after us every time we leave or run away from them.
Snow White told us to wait for our Prince who would wake us up with a first kiss and then take us to a castle on their white horses.
Belle proves that it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. and inside every boy's physical feature, there's a loving and handsome prince with a heart of gold who's willing to give his life for you.
Megara says that no matter how one guy can treat you like trash and leave you for another girl even after you've given everything for him, there would always be another one who would come and heal your broken heart and take away your loneliness. The one who would give up his own destiny and world just to be with you.
When a girl reaches puberty, there would be tests and conclusions to this life lessons we've been believing since we were eight.
Most of the experiences tell us that men or "princes" like that do not exist; the one's that we've been reading about years ago.
Life lessons become complicated and harder to believe as we grow older.
Few girls get their fairytales right, but mostly they don't.
So sometimes it's better to close the fairytale books and face the reality.
BUT maybe, just maybe, if you believe in the magic of your very own "Once upon a time" story, you can have your own Happy Ending.
After all,nothing compares to the magical phrase, "...and they lived happily ever after."
