Nothing ever happens like they show in the movies.
Nothing ever happens like it happens in the fairy tales.
No magical powers; No extraordinary prowess.
No prince charming; No perfect princess.
Only generic life. Struggling to make money; To have enough food to feed our own children.
Loving and hating; And then loving some more.
Loving an imperfect other;
Hoping they complete you.
Accepting their faults, shortcomings.
Living this short life; Each with a purpose of their own.
Somewhere in the midst realizing what really matters; And how blessed we are.
This is life.
Let’s not give it up as easily because nothing’s perfect.
Let’s not give it up for someone or something that’s not worth it.
