The Reality of Make Believe


When I think about fairy tales, I think about being very young. I can't honestly say that these stories instilled within me a real sense of responsibility or even the basic idea that with all actions come consequences. For me fairy tales were a window into a reality. As fictitious as they were and as weird as it may sound, there was always that question of 'what if' lingering in my head. Fairy tales opened my mind to ideas of freedom, independence and excitment. Most of which children do not experience often. These fairy tales symbolized what life could be like as a grown up - and that, in and of itself was always the ultimate goal.
