Fairy Tales

I want to live in a Fairy Tale.

This may seem weird or naïve, but I really do.

I'm not saying I want to live in a Disney movie (just because I didn't say it doesn't mean it isn't true!), but an actual, real life fairy tale.

I know what you may be thinking. Something along the lines of: "Lou's going crazy, she really believes that fairy tales exist"

And maybe I am a little bit crazy, but I still believe. The same way that some people believe in mermaids or fairies or witches or ghosts, I believe in fairy tales.

I've looked up many definitions of a fairy tale, but this one shows me that they actually do exist:

In less technical contexts, the term is also used to describe something blessed with unusual happiness, as in "fairy tale ending" (a happy ending)or "fairy tale romance"

Who doesn't want unusual happiness?

I guess this stems from my belief in true love.

I suppose most people believe in true love, but for me, it's one of the most important beliefs that I have. If I didn't believe in love, I would not be me.

Because love is the closest thing we have to magic.

So when I think of my fairy tale ending, it involves finding my true love, and having kids. And writing books. Literally, that is all it would take in life to make me unshakably happy. That and cookies, I am obsessed with cookies! (The chocolate chip kind, not normal biscuits as Americans would say!)

Again, this is a really random post, but love is one of my favourite topics and I really, truly believe in fairy tales.

I don't know if I'll ever have my fairy tale ending (which is one of my biggest fears) but that's for another post.

Thank you for reading.

Let me know in the comments, what is your Fairy Tale ending?

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

    This is such a sweet, lovely post! I too dream of living in fairytale - whether that will happen or not I don't know, but what I do know is that happiness won't just pop by one day, you have to go out there and find it, you have to work hard to get where you want to go and if you work hard enough you will succeed. Look at Zoe Sugg (Zoella) for example, she worked so hard to get where she is and now she is living the dream... she has her fairy tale!
    Love this post!

    I'd love to hear more about this fairytale vision :) It's not weird, it's completely understandable actually! And your post has made me realize that being happy can result in such great things, even if they don't involve a prince charming ;) xx

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

  This is the second movie for the bucket list that I forgot to write a post for! I saw this back in May so my memory might be a bit rusty, but it was a re-watch so I'm pretty clear on the plot and how I feel about it. I liked this movie. I probably liked it the same amount this time that I did on my first watch. It's a great story, told in a really interesting way. And while I probably didn't find it completely interesting the whole way through, it was worth it to get to the twist. For me, a plot twist is such an underrated device. I love them so much I actively seek them out in both movies and books. A good plot twist can make an otherwise bad movie re-watch-worthy. There are a few twisty movies on the bucket list, and this one has one of the best twists. Even if you don't like the movie as a whole, the twist makes everything so much more interesting. Another thing the twist does is make you want to watch the film all over again. I saw it months ago now, and I really

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind

Woman of the Hour | Film Review

  Amidst a series of murders in LA, aspiring actress Cheryl (Anna Kendrick) crosses paths with a serial killer (Daniel Zovatto) on a dating show. I was really excited to see this film as soon as I saw the trailer. Even in that short space of time it got across a tense, sinister atmosphere that made the film seem like a really interesting watch, especially being a true story. Thankfully I loved the film, and the atmosphere it created was part of the reason why. From the first scene we understand the tone and can already kind of guess how the rest of the film will feel. The tension was created expertly. There were multiple times while watching the film where I was holding my breath without realising, and this feeling didn't go away until the film was over. In the last 30 minutes particularly, I actually had to pause the film to remind myself to breathe because it was that intense. Those 30 minutes were so well written and crafted - I don't think I've even seen a full-on horro

Smile 2 | Film Review

After a harrowing accident, popstar Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is putting her life back together and embarking on a world tour. But after witnessing a suicide, she begins to experience strange occurrences - the strangest of which is a smile that seems to follow her wherever she goes...  Having absolutely loved the first film, I was so excited to see where this next one would take the storyline, and it seemed really promising! But my high expectations were probably why I ended up being so disappointed with the final result. I know that this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really like this sequel. However, I did like how it began. It directly connects itself to the first film in a really interesting way, and that was fun to watch. Then it kind of went downhill. For me personally, I didn't love the character of Skye Riley. I didn't really feel connected to her, and it never felt like the film allowed me to get to know her that well. So as much as the events are

Brothers | Film Review

While attempting to go straight, former criminal Moke's (Josh Brolin) efforts are derailed when he is reunited with his twin brother Jady (Peter Dinklage), who convinces him to join a cross-country road-trip to retrieve the score of a lifetime. I remember seeing the trailer for this a few months ago and being surprised by the actors involved, because no one seemed to be anticipating its release at all. I wasn't particularly interested in the plot, but as a fan of a few of the actors in it, I wanted to see it. And after watching the film, I understand why no one was really talking about it. But let's start with the good things! The characters are great. Jady and Moke are fun characters to spend time with, and the actors had great chemistry. If nothing else in the film felt realistic, their brotherly banter worked. At the beginning, it was funnier than I expected it to be. This unfortunately didn't last and the film got less and less funny as it went on, but for a while t
