life is no fairy tale.

do we all just expect our lives to be fairy tales?
are we all just waiting for our prince charming or our sleeping beauty?
why can't we just grasp reality and understand that fairy tales are better kept in books, away from our mentalities.
call me pessimistic, but i feel as though i'm watching every aging woman in my life get younger and expect things that will never happen.
i mean it's great to dream and it's incredible if you can still have high hopes at an older age, but we still need to stay in touch with reality.
do we really need to get slammed hard.. and learn all of lifes leasons the hard way?
