Quote by Mimi Schmir, Grey's Anatomy (tel

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

Summary

However, despite the practicality of adulthood, there remains a small glimmer of optimism deep within us. We may rely on trustworthy things and people, yet we secretly hold onto a fragment of that childhood faith, believing that someday our own fairy tale will materialize. This quote illustrates the enduring power of hope, highlighting the delicate balance between embracing reality and maintaining a sense of wonder.
