Cinderella dreams

"Sometimes people leave youhalfway through the wood,
Do not let it grieve you,
No one leaves for good.
You are not alone.
No one is alone."
-Into The Woods
All the fairy tales paradigms come flooding back into my mind. But what do they really all mean? Was it the wishful thinking of some story teller? Was it the hopes and dreams of every child? I think maybe it was a cruel hope. A child sitting in the ashes for warmth, a servant girl marrying the prince, a thousand and one other tales where the loftiest dream is not out of reach? Maybe a story was enough to keep a dream alive, but it wasn't enough to change a reality.
