broken hearts and happy endings

when we were little girls, most of us often dream of faraway castles and of a prince of our own. we were led to believe that love is all happiness and what every girl of pure heart can achieve. the innocence of the little princesses in us, allowed us to believe that true love is easy to find and will end all of our life's misery. such happy times are these moments in our lives.


then the sudden reality of maturity claims it stake upon the innocent minds. broader horizons,bigger world and more challenges in life. all of these stuff start to strip us of our innocence slowly but painfully. we start to learn that the human heart is a fragile and an important treasure. we also discover the horrible truth that not all frogs are prince's in disguise. we start to think carefully and doubt settles in.


gone are the days of-- "happy endings and they lived happily ever after". maturity does come with more knowledge and wisdom... but too much of these leads us to see the world in a jaded way. don't we just wish to go back to the days when our only problem were where to hold our next kiddie tea party? the time when broken hearts are nothing to us but an old lady's myth.
