And They Lived Happily Ever After.
BWAHAHAHAHA.
No.
Every girl wants a guy to walk into her life, that automatically falls in love with her that's handsome, funny, and all around awesome. Everybody wants a castle. Everybody wants to be loved and respected. Because we READ.
Gah.
I realized the other day, that people write and read books because books are so much better than reality. I'm never going to get a Tobias (Divergent), or Jace (City of Bones) or Gale (Hunger Games), because those are characters authors made up.
I know this, because I do it too.
I sculpt characters and stories that I wish I lived in. Worlds where characters are perfect and funny, and awesome.
I sculpt guys I wish would walk into my life. I sculpt friends I wish I had. Worlds I wish I lived in. Lives I wish I had.
Because it's fantasy.
You know what's funny?
I realized tonight, that no one has a main character that is: female, red headed,green eyed, short, sarcastic, snarky, stubborn, a picky eater, mortally afraid of jellyfish, can't make decisions, procrastinator, lazy, 14 year old.
...I'm not exactly Cinderella either...
Wow.
We spend so much time (maybe this is just me?) waiting for the perfect fairy tale ending to fall into our laps, that we don't realize, we can't see that the ending is ridiculous. "Everybody Lived Happily Ever After. The End."
Uhm. Yeah, good luck with that.
There are no such things as fairytales. Unfortunate as that is.
I'm not going to get a prince charming. I'm not going to get a castle.
Because I'm not a princess.
And this isn't a fairy tale.
The End.
