I love fairy tales because of their haunting beauty and magical strangeness. They are set in worlds where anything can happen.

Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don’t be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time.
