I've started working with children for some time now and children also love fairy tales?But why do they? Why did we love fairy tales as children?
Could it be the fusion between fantasy and reality? Yes, it makes the story surreal but it allows your imagination to run wild. Look at Cinderella for example: the reality was in the fact that she was an orphan maltreated by her step family. However, the surrealism is in the fact that there's a fairy godmother and animals that turn into people and all sorts of events that don't happen in real life.
I think the answer is much simpler: children, and we all did, love fairy tales, because in these stories, EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. Whatever you imagine and think, could be a reality. Possibilities are endless.
Whatever is impossible, becomes possible.
I am going to tell you a story. A raw story. It's a story of pain, trouble, trials, love and grace and a final triumph. It's a story of transformation and self discovery. It's a story of love and rescue. It's my story.
I don't think my story is better than others' we've come across. I am not extra special or better. This is actually really vulnerable for me because I'm like "Who will care?" But I want to share it because the One who wrote my story is worth knowing about.
Stay tuned.
