Once in a blue moon*

"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'd carry you away to a castle on a hill... You'd 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, it's hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely 'cause almost everyone still has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they'll open their eyes and it will all come true.
At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it.
It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale might be slightly different than you dreamed.
The castle, well, it may not be a castle.
And it's not so important that it's happy ever after, just that it's happy right now.
See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you.
And once in a while, people may even take your breath away."
