I believe, that life is a fairy tale.
My mother, is a single hard working woman, who has tried very hard to make a name for herself, while raising me, her only daughter. She told me that she never regretted me, even though I know she's sacrificed a lot. I try hard to follow in her footsteps, by learning and spending time. She has given up countless sacrifices.
Because of her job, I spent the majority of my time moving from place to place. I'm used to a lot of alone time. As a child I loved reading, I started out with fairy tales, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty. Then I grew to other books, philosophy by Ayn Rand, Satire by Voltaire. As it went on I found more and more things to read.
But Fairy tales were still my favorite. All the moving, never really gave me a chance to have friends, so instead, when I put down my book. And let my imagination carry me, I would be the princess, beautiful cunning smart, waiting for the prince to come and sweep me off my feet and rescue me from the evil dragon.
It was easier this way, being friendless, because we would always move. Until this January, my mom was promised her that this was the last time. The move really couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Through a strange series of events, I, the shy smart girl, ended up landing the leading role, in my high school musical.
And even through everything, people telling me that I wasn't right, I was supposed to be on the debate team, or the mathletes. I persevered, and finally did what I wanted to.
And it was perfect.
For the first time, I felt like I could break away. And be... just me. And thats all I was expected to do. For the first time, I didn't have to pretend I was a princess, because i really was one. I had found my prince charming, and through other peoples lies and through people trying to break us apart. And now I know.
My life is a fairy tale. I can bend it, and try and change it how I please. But in the end, that I can always make it better, just by being me. If I don't expect anything else, thats how your life begins with once upon a time, and will end in happily ever after.
I believe that life is a fairy tale. Because you are you, and no one, can take that away. You can make your own fairy tale, with a wish, a dream or even a hope. Your imagination can change your life, all you have to do, is keep on believing.

My sort of goal with this is to keep the characters in character as possible, but with putting my interp on them. Tell me how you think I'm doing.
