People want the fairytale more than they want their truth.

We crave the happy ending — not the honest one.
But the cost of this illusion is high.

By clinging to fantasy, we stay dissatisfied with our own lives.
We scroll through curated perfection, and in the silence of our real pain, we think we’re the only ones struggling.

If more people spoke about the real challenges — in their relationships, in their careers, with their finances, with their children —
If we had the courage to tell the whole truth,
If we embraced what we’ve been given instead of comparing it to what’s staged...

We would have stronger communities.
We would have more compassion, deeper love, and better self-esteem.
We would have a world where patience, effort, and honesty were the new fairytale.

Because that, not perfection, is what we’re truly starving for.
Not the dream that everything is flawless,
But the strength to say: this is hard — and I’m showing up anyway.
