5月23日 The Lost Fairy Tale Of Krakow[Just One of Best MSN Spaces ]
![]() "Reach in my pocket for a bill that isn't there
And to face all of the undoings Still isn't more than I can bear.." ![]() Dear Gabrielle,
If ever there was a place that could spin a girl's fantasy into overdrive, it is Krakow, Poland.
From the charming pebbled streets to magnificent towering castles. From romantic horse drawn carriages to handsome Polish princes - it is enough to make a girl crave for a fairytale-like existence.
Had I been in Krakow a year ago, I would have been giddy - fantasising and making wishes upon falling stars! Yes, very much like the hopeless romantic you used to know then..
Yet last weekend, as I stood in the midst of the Old Town Square with all of its magical splendour, it dawned on me. I was sadly, unaffected. There was no dreaming of knights on white horses. No wishes of happy-ever-after endings.
For the first time, I saw things as they truly are. Pebbled streets, made of dusty, broken concretes. Towering castles without their occupants. Horse drawn carriages going round in circles. Handsome princes, mortally flawed.
This girl has fallen down to earth. Her feet are on the ground.
Now Gabe, a part of me appreciates this newfound wisdom. With this new set of beliefs, I become more real, slightly experienced and less prone to unneccesary disapointments.
The other part of me, grieves for the loss of innocence. It never was my plan to become jaded. It is obvious that I am.
Funny how one can be in a fairy tale place like Krakow and suddenly realise, she does not believe in fairy tales anymore...
Passionately Lost,
