"The Shoe Finally Fits."

Source
A year ago, if you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I would look you straight in the eye and say that I wanted to be a psychiatrist. I was a double major, and nothing could stop me. However, with psychology there was always some sort of limitations. Sometimes, the shoes didn't fit too right. Either they were too big, or they just weren't comfortable. I was invincible, and nothing could stop me.
Six months in my psychology career, something didn't fit right. I never had the feeling of this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. You know, the Eureka moment when the light bulb goes on in your head. During that time, I joined my school's paper. It was there when I had my aha moment. Whenever I wrote, the words came easy. Whenever I left my journalism class, I had the feeling of that's what I wanted to do with my life. Write interesting stories that gets people to think. Not sitting in an office telling patients what they should do to alleviate their depression.
I knew something was wrong, so I decided that it was time to drop psychology completely. I don't regret that decision because I know that I am truly happier with what I choose. Yes, I didn't complete my psychology program. But, if you have a problem with that, too bad because that's my decision.
Honestly, since I filled out the paperwork to become an English major again, I have no regrets. I feel less stressed out, and I worry about being perfect a little less. The shoe finally fits me like a glove, and it makes me happy to know that I am doing something that makes me happy. And yes, in case you're wondering, I am having my aha moments.

In Between The Lines.

I've decided to try my hand at reading Grimm's Fairy Tales. I'm on page 20, so I have a long way to go before finishing the book. However while reading it, I did realize something.
When watching the Disney version, one can conclude that they are overly happy and joyous. There's nothing wrong with that because happiness is something that everyone should look to obtain. However,  it's not realistic. After all, not everyone is happy every day of the week.
In the Grimm's version of the fairy tale, I noticed that indeed the stories are a tad bit more realistic. If you read between the lines, you find more then just magical creatures, fairies and witches. You find life lessons, things that they didn't put in the Disney version. (Sorry Disney, as much as I loved you when I was a kid, this is kind of true.) We've all read Cinderella, right? (Okay, fine or saw the movie.) Cinderella talks about going through rough times, to equal to a good time. (Or in her case, she marries a prince and goes on to be happily ever after. Either one works for you) But, she's often my favorite princess because she had a lot to go through to get to that happiness. For example, she did all of the work for people that really took advantage of her. Which sucks, if you ask me.
Fairy tales are like people. Sometimes, you have to read between the lines of them to find out their true meaning. Interpreting things can lead to be wrong, but if you follow your gut then you will never go wrong.
