Let Go - Kristine Mirellethis is written by a friend's friend...
'A friend of mine recently commented that "fairy tales stories were not true and not pretty
realistic". In real life, you can wait for years and the "Prince Charming" who is supposed to
sweep you off your feet may never show... or he could turn out to be the proverbial
wolf-in-sheep's-clothing or something equally nasty.
What I find problematic about this philosophy (other than the fact that its defeatist and
depressing) is that Fairy Tales should not be meant to equate Real Life. Sure, it does look like a
pretty swell job to be the hero or heroine of some medieval blockbuster - swashbuckling hero
slays evil dragon; plucky damsel bests evil stepmother and they both go riding off into a
"Happily Ever After" sunset scene. Unfortunately, we can't all be "The Fairest of Them All" or
"The Best in the Land" - for every "Chosen One" who manages to pull the sword out of the
stone, there are tonnes of other supporting cast in the background - that is probably where we
all belong in reality.
But yea, so what if we aren't the Big Damned Heroes of the show? When you think about it, fairy
tale protagonists are merely people who happen to be in the right place at the right time. Unlike
the Princess who did it right the first time, you'll might have to kiss a helluva lot of frogs to find
your Prince. Doesn't mean it wouldn't happen. Just takes alot more time, effort and heart. Also
means that you'll end up as a better person than that spoilt Princess who lucked her way into
the arms of a handsome Froggie Prince.
What we forget sometimes, is that we are the main characters of our own stories - our lives.
Sure, they may be normal till the point of being bland and banal - but it is what we have. We
make do by finding what happiness we can in the little things we do don't we? From experience,
I think its the little things that count - give your seat to the pregnant lady, put a coin into the bin
of the earnest old busker, help to clear your own plate so the over-harassed 3.50/hr temp @
Mackers can take a break - smile more; its infectious. Small little things that, as maudlin as it
sounds, gives you the "warm fuzzy feeling" that keeps you going.
Sure, I'm at best the comedic side character who would have 10 seconds of screen time in the Big
Picture - but in my own story, I am the dude who tries to make things work out for the best for
people he cares about.
That is enough for me.
What about you?'
i won't write this much for a message. but you know how i write/type things. mostly much about the same. but one thing for such that smile i had before had disappeared for very long. i cannot find that smile back. yup maybe one other day. but now it remains like that as it seems. that thing i had is lost.
guys no need to worry about me and her. things will never change. it's a path,fate and destined. i didn't make that decision. i just letting the flow out as it seems. thanks for your concerns. really appreciate them.
that's something only love can do.
