Do you believe in fairytales?

DucksNuts · 10-26-2007, 06:20 AM

Happily ever after n all that shit?

I'm soooooo cynical these days.

I dont take anything/anyone at face value, I expect to be disappointed and get fucked around.

I'm about resigned to the fact that this is how my life is going to be for the rest of it and I should just get used to it.

Somebody change my mind...please

Aliantha · 10-26-2007, 06:25 AM

I don't believe in fairytales.

I believe in reality.

I still get fucked around, but it's different.

No one's perfect.

It took me a while to realize that, and recognize that even though some things are really annoying (about Dazza) he's still a great husband and step dad and he's worth loving...and I know he thinks I'm worth loving too.

There's no such thing as fairytales. I reckon the sooner you stop hoping for that, the sooner you'll see what might just be right under your nose.

I don't believe in fairy tales, but I also don't believe that everything and everyone is shit. I think how you view yourself and the acceptance you have for your own failings and shortcomings affect how you view others. When you surround yourself with people who enrich your life instead of bring drama and chaos, your outlook is more positive (because your life is more positive).

I stopped looking for my knight in shining armor to come rescue me and said, fuck it..I gotta rescue myself. I'll do what makes ME happy and the rest of the world can like it, or lump it. I think you gotta stop looking for someone to make you happy (which just isn't possible). When you feel and act confident and self-sufficient, people (the enriching kind) are drawn to you quite naturally.

I know it sounds cheesy, but I made a list of the qualities I want in the people I allow into my life and I made a list of the qualities I want nothing to do with.

. It works well, because I'd rather be alone than have have dysfunction all around me.

I don't believe in happily-ever-after, but I believe relationships can last ... if the folks involved can accept each other's flaws and still want the best for each other and the relationship. I think courtesy goes a long way in relationships, too. I don't mean some particular etiquette, just good manners no matter how lousy one is feeling at any given moment.

lumberjim · 10-26-2007, 10:27 AM

I've always felt as though I'd be alright. But I never thought I had the option of waiting for it to come to me. I

Fairy tales are for little girls and nancy boys.

Sperlock · 10-26-2007, 10:28 AM

If there's a fairytale princess out there for me, she's probably already been killed by the witch.

Michaela · 10-26-2007, 01:24 PM

I'm new here just today and thought this would be a good place to start.

I do believe in fairy tales. I believe that there is someone out there for everyone. Most of my fairy tales fantasties tend to be on the risque side however. :0)

Welcome Michaela!
I don't believe in fairytales, I think you have to be able to accept your own faults and those of your partner - it is all about compromise, assessing what is essential and what you can let go, and picking your battles accordingly.
Relationships need work, but that's not a bad thing, at all.

Cicero · 10-26-2007, 01:49 PM

I don't even believe in reality...in fact.....Grimm's Fairytales (the originals) seem more likely.

I really could change your mind....but then it would become a habit.......

Believe in yourself. Maybe everything will fall into place after that...and if it doesn't....you won't be any less happy. You've got you, and let's start here:

You can spell the word cynical. It is against all probability that you could actually exist and spell out that word on the internet. But you are. Wow...the truth is more amazing than a fairytale.

Michaela · 10-26-2007, 03:48 PM

Thanks for the welcome! I'd like to believe in a fairy tale for me and my guy. Well, when there is a guy in my life. That's my fairy tale. Connection.

10-26-2007, 03:54 PM

I believe in happy ever after, but with a lot of work.
I don't believe in soul-mates or perfect fits.
I believe in friends first, patience and personal space, trust and never expecting more of them than you do of yourself.
Above all, I believe in forgiveness... once or twice.
Finally, once you forgive, accept an apology, NEVER bring it up again.

Michaela · 10-26-2007, 05:30 PM

Good advice all the way around. Hard to do sometimes, but worth trying nonetheless.
