These are (not) instrutions to kill dragons

Once upon a time, there was a little girl whose life was all about rainbows, pink and fantasy. She would watch movies and read books where their characters had amazing adventures, and soon her dream became having an adventure like them.
What she didn’t know, was that that dream would eventually become her doom. That’s because, I shall say in case you hadn’t noticed, as we grow up, that magic world that adults create around us to protect us from the pains of life since the moment we are born, slowly fades away.
To most kids, as they grow up, it’s hard at first, but they eventually let go. She couldn’t, the pain that trying to forget about those wonderful worlds were causing was too much to bear to her, so she started to read and watch more.  And with every book, every movie, every TV show, it’d become harder. Her soul was falling slowly apart, and she didn’t notice until it was too late.
You may think that it isn’t that bad clinging to your dreams during elementary school, and that’s probably right, but if you don’t let go when you get to secondary school, it becomes a problem. As the years passed her soul kept falling painfully slow, being that weak and lonely hope of achieving her dreams the only thin still hanging.
I would say how this story ends, but I don’t know. Maybe she’ll keep holding on until death comes for her, maybe she’ll eventually get to achieve her dreams, maybe she’ll try to achieve her dreams but won’t get to do it, maybe the pain will be too hard, and even though she promised herself long ago she’d keep holding on, and will end it herself. But I know she’ll definitely try to go on until it’s literally impossible.
