Once Upon A Time....

There was a little girl who, because she saw it every day, grew up believing in Fairy Tales, where strong manly men fell in love with soft sweet princess's and they lived happily ever after.

After a time she lost herself in the belief and found herself extremely disappointed to find out that that's just not the way it works, and she became disillusioned...the rose colored glasses fell off and shattered into pretty pink pieces all over the floor. There was a lesson in that, and she learned it well.

She learned that knights in shining armor really don't exist, and there's seldom someone to rush in and save her when the world turns backwards on it's axis. And she was sad for a while, because sometimes the world seemed heavier than she could bear.

And then one day, after much soul searching and inner introspection, she came to understand that she and she alone was responsible for her Happily Ever After, and that sometimes, though it seemed completely impossible, the Dragon was really the hero of the day.

She came to understand that the Knight in shining armor was actually weighted down by that armor and could not fly to the heights that were required to reach her...he could not make all those poetic words take flight to reach her heart, he could not warm her soul for all the metal.

It was the dragon who flew to her every day and the dragon who with his fire warmed her heart and melted all the cynicism that over time had grown to a hard unbreakable shell. It was the dragon who offered her his back, scales and all, and flew her to a place of utter beauty. And while it certainly was not what she had dreamed up, not what she had imagined all those years...it was good. And right. And she was finally content because she knew that she was cherished and loved.

So...ok...just so you know. I'm now taking applications for Dragons....

    Quoting JudeL5:

I guess Shrek came to mind because of how much parody it makes of the "knight in shining armour rescuing the princess protected by a dragon" theme... and the dragon fried all the real knights anyway

...a dragon sounds like a better choice...

Ever read "The Paper Bag Princess" by Robert Munsch? It's a kids book, but the princess had to take things into her own hands to get rescued...cuz the prince was a useless, self-absorbed twit... might make you chuckle

I have not read it, but I will def be looking it up now. Thanks for the tip, because I really could always use a chuckle. Of course, you could make it easier by just flying on down here.

At first your post made me feel sad. But as I continued to read it, I realized just how beautifully you have expressed yourself. And yes.....sometimes the knight is really the dragon. I've missed being around here.....so I've decided to pop in once in awhile. I hope you are well....and especially.....happy.


rm_impish_pixie replies on 11/15/2010 6:49 pm:
I'll admit...it was a bit sad for me too, but it was definitely a truth I needed to see and I had to write it to see it. We've missed seeing you here.

I am well...and I am happy. I would love to be happier, should my own true dragon ever show up. I suppose he's just a little shy.

LOVE "The Paper Bag Princess"! NOW do you see why I always said I am a Dragon? (Of course, we know what I *really* am, but ... .) Besides I can't be *your* Dragon 'cause we're sisters and all that ... However, you need to write down what you need and want with clear intentions ... And we shall make it so! Remember ~

I have been feeling a little scaley lately...




I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

*giggle* only just lately?

How are you dear? I've missed you...I see you randomly on the other place, but I do miss our conversations. Hope all is well with you and your princess.
