Fairy Tales and Divorces.

"Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true
Deep down inside we want to believe they still do
And a secret is taught, it’s our favorite part of the story
Let’s just admit we all want to make it too" - Carrie Underwood.

In this song "Ever After" by Carrie Underwood, she sings to us about how we all want to believe in fairy tales. And one of my biggest secrets (gasp) is that I really do want ot believe in fairy tales... I want to believe that there's a happily ever after at the end of everyones lives. That prince charming will come and whisk me away into some rediculously decked out castle and that from then on, it will be just us. But today, it just doesnt seem possible. Do you remember in history class where your teachers told you about the 1950's when divorce was frowned upon, during the white picket fence days, leave it to beaver kinda shit? Whatever happened to it. The divorce rate in this country is out of fucking unreal. If anything, when I hear about a married couple being together still by age 40 it takes me back. Touches me, but takes me back.
What it comes down to, the point behind what I'm saying is, I'm scared. I don't want to have kids, and end up not having their father in their lives, or having a failed marriage. I want the happily ever after... And I want to fall in love with someone, and stay in love with them. I want to get married to the person I'm supposed to get married to, I want that white picket fenced house, with the kids in the yard with the dog. I wanna die old and happy with someone who still loves me, and still is crazy enough to think im beautiful. I want a fairy tale romance. Love me for it, hate me for it... Once again it's where I stand.
