deep_red_bellsEveryone wants a fairy tale. That's how I define it. It's what everybody wants.
No, really. The most twisted psychopath in the world has some image in their head of their happy ending. It might not be conventional. To you and me it might be incredibly fucked up. But it's theirs. It's their happy ending. It's their fairy tale life and fairy tale ending. We have all one. We all have dreams, we all have this perfect vision in our heads of how our lives will go--influenced greatly by the stories we're told as children. These dreams change as we grow up and mature and realize that we don't get to become a sugar plum fairy or a knight because the stories we're read as children exist in some fantastical world not our own, so we adapt them to the real world. But still we have dreams. Still we have our own little fairy tales, our own happy endings.
And what they all have in common?
Nobody gets one.
Nobody.
