happy right now...

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairytales? That fantasy of what your life would be- white dress and a Prince Charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill.

You would lie in 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. One day you open your eyes and the fairytale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust.

But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairytale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope- of faith- that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true. 

At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairytale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important to have happily ever after, as long as it’s happy right now.

See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while people may even take your breath away.
