once upon a time...

Fairy tales.... I used to love fairy tales. I used to play with my cousins and imagine we were all the Disney princesses. Oh, how life used to be so simple and so happy.

Fairy tales are supposed to have happy endings but in the story the tale of the spinster and peter pan, it was kind of dark and it ended sadly. The story is about a sad old women tired of her boring scheduled life. Shes the type of woman who likes to follow her schedule and she only does the things she is comfortable doing. There was one day when she visited her regular bar and she noticed that there were a lot of new things happening like the band is new and its playing new songs. She then developed a slight crush for the lead singer, as most women do. The sad part is the lead singer of the band tried to talk to her but she froze and didn't know what to do, she was ashamed and decided to leave instead. The man was left there confused and alone.


I honestly did not like the story document. I mean the man figuring out how to read the woman by reading her documents instead. When i was reading the text, i really wanted to tell the character "get a life!". If he really wanted to get to know the girl truly he should have just talked to her instead of snooping around like a stalker.


Both these stories where about two people who could not get out of their comfort zones. they were given chances to break free and maybe be happy but they chose the path that they normally choose. Life is full of risks, if you don't take any risks its like your whole life your on auto pilot.
