Snow White



Snow white is now in town. They all are very happy about it, even though because of her the trains were cancelled, the traffic is a nightmare, the schools are closed, and the people couldn’t go to work… Or maybe, those are just few more reasons for them to be even happier.
18 years passed since last time when she came with such pomp… There are children who never really got to met her, to play with her, to enjoy her company. Yesterday, al those people, all over the UK went out to celebrate her presence. Although she came escorted by the cold, these people know how to enjoy just the good parts of this quite unexpected visit. They are wise enough to appreciate just the slide of the white flakes, the snow ball fights, the snowmen, the white… they are human enough to know how to become children again and to play like ones.

The view is fairylike, but what it’s even more beautiful is the people realizing how fairylike this is. They notice, they know how to appreciate it, how to enjoy it, they don’t lose the moment. They just know when to get some loose and just… live.
It is some time since I realized that back home people forgot how to be happy. For so many years to enjoy life was prohibited, that the word happiness, the notion itself and not to mention the mood, they all got out of their system. We were raised by these people and is somehow surprising to see that some things are so different out here.

For them everything seems easier than for the rest of us. They don’t deprive themselves of fun, they don’t find everything just bleak, and life is not just black and white.
They trust themselves, they are the best, every single one of them, and they were not raised being told that modesty is a virtue; the other’s opinion is not that important, they dress up funny because they’re in the mood of doing it, they were sandals in the middle of the winter because they feel like it, they were very short skirts (even they are fat because it really doesn’t matter if they look like tramps…
What it matters is that they know how to make snowmen even after 18 years.
