Who says you can live happily ever after? I wish I knew, because I would hunt him down and pop him right in the mouth.
Life is fucking hard, even during the calm moments. Bills to pay, work to slave over, the monotony of living. Day in, Day out. You get lucky occasionally- find that someone to share the grind with... girl/boyfriend, or husband/wife...but the time drags on, the wheels keep turning...and you have to balance like a lumberjack on a spinning log, or you will be pinned under the cogs of life's wheel.
Fairy godmother doesn't exist. Hard work and perserverence does. Ten steps forward eight steps back.
I didn't say life wasn't fun. I said life was hard (and I like hard)...sex, rock and roll, the moderate use of drugs...a little spanking here and there.
But is it glass slippers and magic spells? Fuck no.
