"A fairy tale is a land of personal escape. Reality bites but we are forced to bite back or else we become the damsel in eternal distress.

"Fairy tales and kingdoms become a land of personal escape. Yes, reality bites but as we grow old, we are forced to bite back. She might become the Damsel Stressed while he becomes the Knight in a red Ferrari.”

To me, a fairy tale seems to have become reality.

Truth hurts but rubbing it further would make me bleed from too much reality. It might kill me.

Fear is a powerful enemy, but not one too strong to overcome.

Faërie contains many things besides elves and fays, and besides dwarfs, witches, trolls, giants, or dragons; it holds the seas, the sun, the moon, the sky; and the earth, and all things that are in it: tree and bird, water and stone, wine and bread, and ourselves, mortal men, when we are enchanted.
