Fairytale Fever

As children, we lived in fairytale worlds. From the tales told at bedtime to the ones we created on the playground.

We were carefree and happy. Somewhere along the line that changed. We stopped believing in the happily ever after.

Instead opting for settlers’ satisfaction.

It became easier to settle for what could be instant gratification. Rather than having the patience and the faith to wait on what could be an epic tale of love and a life beyond our dreams.

It is too comfortable to remain in the expected than to reach blindly towards the unexpected.

The biggest love stories come from faith in the promise. Knowing what’s yours will find you at the right time.

A truth we keep forgetting is that what’s meant for you will find you. It won’t run off and hide. It won’t reject you. It won’t hurt you. It’s already yours. Maybe it’s not in your grasp yet, but you must trust it’s on the way.

Call it delusion, cliché, or an unattainable dream, but some, like me, believe in fairytales. The happy ever after for all your days to come.

And as the saying goes, nothing worth having comes quick or easy. It comes on time when you’re ready.

Are you ready? Are you in the space you need to be to claim what you’re so desperately praying for? Will it be beneficial to you or at present only curb your growth and progression toward who you’re called to be?

There’s no use in receiving what is yours before your time. You’re not going to give a child the keys to your car and trust them to drive down the highway without incident. You’re not going to expect a high school kid to have a college degree. Those things are possible. They are within reach, but it’s the wrong season.

The same goes for your epic tale. Every chapter is a continuation of your story. Your character growth and progression towards your end destination.

Everybody knows the sweetest tales leave happily ever after for the last chapter. That’s not to say that love, happiness, and serenity will only find you at the end of your days.

Cinderella and the Prince went on to live a long happy life that surpassed Happily Ever After. But the part of their story we got to read ends where their life together starts.

The point is that there’s no telling when you’ll stumble into happily ever after. There’s only the knowing that it will make one hell of a story.

Can you wait for it? Can you be patient and stay steadfast in the promise of what’s coming?

Be content with where you are in your season of singleness, instead of forcing a fit that was never meant to be.

But how will I know? No one can give a straight answer to this. As every person experiences it differently. The one thing they all agree on is “trust me, when it comes, you’ll know”.
