…Sad but a reality…
This excerpt comes from the blog of you guessed it…ELISE…
“My fairy tale will come true…
Meredith (Grey’s Anatomy): You know when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales? That fantasy of what your life would be – white dress, prince charming who’d carry you away to a castle on a hill. You’d lie in your bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, prince charming –they were so close you could taste them. But eventually you grow up and one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, it’s hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope and faith that one day they would open their eyes and it would all come true.
I have a [WILD] imagination. The fairy tales I have in my head are very intriguing and would make one heck of a romance novel if they were to come to fruition. My imagination gives me hope….it makes me excited for what *could* be. But in the end, is my imagination setting me up for disappointment?
There are thousands of possible scenarios running through my brain at any given time: job scenarios, social scenarios, dating scenarios. All of these scenarios exist in my head – where they are safe and no one but me can control them. Ahhhh wouldn’t that be great!? Wouldn’t it be amazing if I truly had control over what happened in life!?! OK, I know that isn’t how it goes….that all of these things are out of my control….but wouldn’t it be nice if just one of those fairy tales came true??
Let me give you a hint as to which one I
*really*
*want*
*to*
*come*
*true*
Even with knowing the reality, that distance and life are in the way, I do have faith that one day I will open my eyes and it will all come true…”

That blog entry could have been my favorite of all time. Elise and I think so much alike, its crazy! Yesterday was a rough day for me, but I don’t and won’t regret any aspect of the past few months. I’ve learned so much about the person I am and the person I want to be. Although I am sad, I know that our purpose in this life is to progress and I have. I have so many amazing people as friends, over the last few months I gained a new one. I’m hoping that I can control my emotions and continue the friendship. Difficult as it may be, I’m reminded of a line in the musical “Wicked” that had absolutely nothing to do with romance:
I’ve heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
(later in the song)…
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good!
I hope my fairy tale (or a version I can handle) comes to fruition. Until then, I am gathering memories and people that make “my world” a better place. I’m better for it…Changed for good.
