Being loved is a big and sweet gesture. =) 

A person once said love is like ghost, everyone talks about it bust a few only have met it face to face. Everyone wishes their life is like how they read in storybooks, and hope they live a fairytale dream. Well, maybe not you, but i always wished life's a fairy tale.

In fairy tales, you read a book while walking on the street and bump into this really cute guy. You have a step-mother and this cute prince charming save you from this evil step-mother of yours. and then, things happens and you guys live happily ever after! 

In real life, if you read a book on while walking on the street, the possibility of you getting hit by a car is 45%? and bumping into a really cute guy, you might have been asked for medical fees and slap by his oh-so-cute girlfriend. and the rest is just bullshit and fantasy. 

But, this all can actually come true! Loving yourself is also a way of being loved. When you treasure yourself as much, people actually respects you and will think twice before hurting you. *smile* Being true to yourself, and never think about what people think of you. The most important thing is how you think and treat yourself. 

The next thing you know, you are you. =) 

i'm known for my words speaking louder than my actions. thus such a post, but don't worry! i'm trying to improve myself as well! 

we shall improve ourselves for the better, shall we?

That is the sole reason why I am totally against fairy tales. I believe fairy tales blinds us from reality and the truth of hardship in life.

In a relationship, to maintain one is harder than to get into one. Being the average ones, there's so much commitment and responsibilities. The so-called "happily every after" is merely an illusion. Unless... But you know, everyone wants to be the prince charming and everyone wants to be the princess... So who'll be the...?

Nice saying there, really. This is what I always tell people: "Learn to love yourself first before learning to love others".

Fairy tales are important .... and they help define "real" life .... much like we now know (in our postmodern world) that the day is defined by the night ... or night by the day .... i.e., it would be difficult to "know" how to define a day or the daylight period if there was always daylight ..... that is, there existed no "night" to help define it .....
Thanks for the thoughts ....

postmodern: Yes you are right, but why compare with something that doesn't even exist in the first place?

Ultimately, a 'perfect' life is always your own creation and your own expectations out of it. Not silly lil' stories that kids suck up to just because its all sunshine and rainbows.

Thanks for your reply .... I am sorry for a delay in offering a rejoinder .... I have been out of town and away from my internet connection ....

Respectively, my interest in your (our) topic is great ..... for I feel that imagination and stories are have a very important place in our lives .... especially as a means to finding the most in our adventures and our journey in the short days that are allotted to us ....

"Why compare with something that doesn't even exist? ..." is a hard challenge for me to answer without taking the care to not just "play" with words ....

Our "creations" are the results of stimulations from outside of ourselves ..... our interpretation of the physical stimuli in the world of nature .... as well as experiences with contact and experiences with other people ...... and, also, the mental imaginations fired from within by stories and fairy tales.....

Stories are real .... many are living different stories .... all are following some dream ...

Thanks again for acknowledging my "thoughts" with your comment....

postmodern: As far as "our interpretation of the physical stimuli in the world of nature" is concerned, I agree with you! It opens our minds to the infinity and beyond when it comes to our wild-running-horses imaginations.

Yes people often mention, "its just a kids story". But as we all grow, we secretly "inherit" it even throughout our adulthood, even though at the back of our heads we know it ain't true anymore. Subconsciously. Because it was already implanted during our upbringings, it makes us believe that love is "all pure and wonderful" when only to find heartbreaking, disappointments and unrealistic expectations.

Growing up in a typical Asian family, I'm pretty sure your mom or your dad will no tell you things about love. Really, love is not a bed of roses.

As I mentioned previously, it is easy to fall in love. Noticed how all "happily ever after" stories only shows how they fall in love instead of keeping and maintaining the love, and they all ends with "they all live happily ever after"?

I just hope next time my kids can think as deep and wise as you, instead of believing the unrealistic "imaginations that were shared" to them. Really, tell me how many kids can differentiate between reality and stories?

I think kids should be supervised when it comes to "happily ever after" stories and always be kept aware of what is real and what's not, or maybe, how about a story of how daddy and mummy work their butts off, selling their soul to "ca-chings", because nothing ain't free in this world, no?

LOL!

Not to sidetrack here, I'm only against "happily ever after" stories, not Peter and Jane, Jack and Jill or Humtydumty. They are cool.
