The Sleeping Beauty

I wonder how does it really feels like to be Sleeping Beauty. To be sleeping for a hundred years, waiting for the right one [prince charming] to come along. With a gentle kiss upon her soft lips, he lifting the evil spell laid upon her.

Fairy tales.. how did it come along in the first place? Who actually invented it? Why do we need such kinda invented tales in our lifes? Are we not satisfied with who we are and what we are in reality? Or are we too bored with the simple, mundane stuffs in life that we invent fantasies of our own to please our urge for something outta this world? Or creating it just to aid us escape from something or someone? Reality can be harsh, brutal, if one does not know how to handle it well... *sigh*

Bed time stories, fantasy, fairy tales, fiction, literature, magic... all sortsa.. all inventions from one's brain. My oh my, what complex animals/mammals we humans are! When will we ever be satisfied? Never ever??

I don't think i would mind being Sleeping Beauty. Sleeping for a century, leaving everything behind, sleeping as soundly as a piggy [hmm do pigs really sleep soundly? hmm.. heck it!] hahaha... Life can be real tiring sometimes I must say. Making one really wish that time would stop revolving and give us a break. Perhaps it can be a sorta time machine thingy... sleeping for a long time and find yourself waking up to another totally new era in history. New adventures, new adaptions... Whao woo hooo hooo hoo.... Freaky~
