Real life doesn't start with "once upon a time...".

Not everyone's life play out like fairy tales nor movies and wrapped up with a scene with everyone in smiles. That's what we dream of. I think that's what we all strive for. Why would we think of such unrealistic facade? Is dreaming of something well out of reach worth hanging onto? I don't know. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I just don't know how I can be a pessimist and an optimist at the same time. Or possibly something I will never be able to admit.
