And they lived happily ever after….

For as long as I can remember, fables suggest that endings are sweet and beautiful.

It’s generally quite formulaic. We all know how it goes.

Person A meets Person B – unlikely circumstances lead them to unite and come together.

Just when everything is going well, some social or emotional turmoil lead to the dissolution of the relationship.

Time goes on and they realize that they just cannot be apart. They come together, resolve their issues and … “they live happily ever after.”

How many romantic comedies can we name that follow this same script? Far more than those that don’t.

Fairy tales literally end on those famous words.

It’s fun and idealistic to suggest beautiful endings but it doesn’t replicate reality.

Why is this the topic of my blog?

For one, there are no happy endings… just happy phases.

If we expect life to flow perfectly, we will be sorely disappointed.

Please don’t get sucked into that matrix.

Nowadays, at the first sight of struggle, people run away and hide.

Divorce rates are through the roof and I believe that this is the primary reason.

People expect perfection and bliss – hoping for that perfect ending.

When they don’t find that in one person, they seek to find it elsewhere.

Once we realize that life is inherently chaotic, we can finally accept the struggle and grow.

Seek out the love you want but realize that it won’t be perfect.

By doing so, your love might actually stand the test of time!
