fairytale.

once upon a time there lived a little girl named perfect. she had a father named giant and a mother named chameleon. they expected nothing less then the best from her. but all in all they loved her as best they could.

one day perfect did something wrong. she felt totally, utterly ashamed. she wanted to run away and kill herself. she decided she could not kill herself because that would kill her mum. so she decided to live.

she ran deep into the forest. until she could run no more. she sat down in the grass and cried. she cried until she could cry no more. giants did not cry. giants were strong. but she was not strong. all she ever felt was weak. 

in through the forest a human being walks up to perfect. he asks what is wrong. she was ashamed of her weakened appearance and shunned away from human. she could feel her weakness and could feel a tail growing where none had been before. she noticed that she was starting to change colors. she tells human that she cannot be seen like this. human  tells perfect that she looks fine just the way she is. perfect was awestricken as she had never been told she was fine just the way she was. 

human tells perfect to look at herself in the pond. perfect is stunned to see a human in the reflection. she had always thought she was a giant. human tells perfect that the pond of clarity shows you as you are. 

~no one is perfect. we are all human. we all make mistakes. we should not be so hard on ourselves all the time. learn. live. grow. ~
