Every little girl dreams of being Snow White, Cinderella… of living in a fairy tale. Then we wake up one day and see our white swan has become a black crow. One life is all we get. If it is a fairy tale, it’s a cruel one. [...] Every child believes in a sparkling future. Then you grow up... and nothing goes as planned. There's only pain, grief and anger.
