A Journal With Everything

Fairy Tales, Dragons

Prompt: Joy gave us a quote that says we all want fairy tales but we forget about the dragons. She wanted us to write about the metaphors of dragons in fairy tales.

Personally, I love dragons and don't see them as a threat. Trolls. I don't mean the cute ones from the 70's or the Troll movies. Those I like. People can be trolls. Mass murders, politics, all the bad things in life. We need a dragon to swoop down and get rid of the trolls.

I want a fairy tale. I want a perfect life. It doesn't work that way. We have to go a doctor sometimes and there are problems to deal with. Fairy tales aren't real, they say but we can enjoy a good marriage, love, friends, pets, cherish every good thing that comes along. When writing a fairy tale, we keep in mind that our story will have a happy ending but a Princess and others will face problems. Let the dragon be the hero. He is in my story. We live our own lives from day to day. I pray, go to church and I always need God's help. He will help me slay the evil things.

I am retired now and not working does make things easier. I do what I want now. I will always want a fairy tale life and some days, I have that. I hope everyone is able to get rid of their trolls. It wouldn't hurt to have a dragon in your corner to help you.
