Life is a Giant Scrapbook.


In a perfect happy fairy tale world, every one's dreams would come true, because that's they way dreams and magic work. They take your favourite memories, take all your hopes, and combine them into one small package that you would absolutely love to open and keep forever. So what happens when you've decided that you don't like that memory anymore? Or that you want to change your dream, or that all of your hopes have all failed? Easy, we simply push that package to the back of our mind. Letting it collect dust on the top shelf, away from sight. Keeping it blocked out, because we don't want to relive it. We don't want it to happen anymore, we've moved on. But sometimes, you'll find yourself looking back to that bookshelf, and notice those boxes piled up way at the top shelf. One day you'll have enough courage to venture up the ladder, and open the boxes. Revealing all the great hopes, dreams, and fairy tales you could have had, but decided against. You'll look at the old, and the new, all the truths and lies, the mistakes, and all memories. You'll relive each one, and ultimately banish the bad from the good. Create one giant box, and put in everything you want. All the happy memories, good choices, smiles, laughter, love, everything your heart desires, and you will be happy. But keep in mind, sadness is always leering around the corner, and its easier than you think to switch roles with your "happily ever after."
