'and baby i was naive, got lost in your eyes, i never really had a chance...'
So Hollywood Endings. Things end everyday; only today i (fingers crossed) finished the practical section of my A level drama. An ending. I see them all around; friendships, relationships, days... even lives. Nothing ever ends like it does in Hollywood films though... you can't skip off into the sunset and everything will be perfect, there's no prince charming coming to carry you away, there aren't any dragons you can simply slay and there's no magic... Or is there.
So you can't have a hollywood ending, cause too many things end in a way far from perfect. Its human life. Yet through it all, i still believe in magic. It's in the air, it's almost tangible... if you look and feel deeply enough. I'll go to my local park, just around sunset, and climb my favourite tree, to my favorite spot, and when i look up, through a hole in the leaves, i can see the fading of the colours from the sky. I'll listen to song, and i suddenly understand the lyrics and the hairs on my arms will stand on end. I'll be on the beach, the stars are out and there's a moment of unorganised silence around the fire. I'll go for a high five at work and it'll make that awesome noise!
What am i getting at? Things go wrong; people come in and out of your life, you make mistakes. Things END. But look a little deeper, and maybe you can see the magic. Try it sometime; take a walk with your music on shuffle, along somewhere quiet, either early morning or early evening. See where you end up, what you see, what connection you find with your music, the surroundings, yourself.
I do believe in fairies, i do, i do...
