Layers of illusion

During the first formative years, our fantasy world is pieced together by Micky & Minnie, Goofy, Cinderella, Santa Clause, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast... But soon enough this neverland begins to fade away and our fairy tale world gets replaced by Romeo and Juliet, When Harry met Sally, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Laila Majnun, Pride and Prejudice... We hold on to this mythical but hopeful realism for a long while until practicality kicks in and begins to blur our romanticism. So what next? What illusion am I yet to strip off?
