The thing with fairytales

It is a curse that every damsel in distress must spend half her life in waiting. For prince charming to be the center of all the monster-slaying, horseback riding, heart-pumping action. What a shame it is for princesses to fall under the mercy of the prick of a needle, or a shiny red apple. What a shame it is, to just sit there and look pretty and wait to be kissed and rescued. To wait for her prince to carry her away into a better life.

When all this time we've had arms to weild a sword.



How much of human life is lost in waiting?
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
