"We are taught that someday we will meet a wonderful
guy or girl and get our very own happy ending. Every
movie we see, Every story we’re told implores us to wait
for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of
love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we’re so
focused on finding our happy ending we don’t learn how
to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us
and the ones who don’t, the ones who will stay and the
ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn’t
include a guy or girl, maybe… it’s you, on your own,
picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself
up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy
ending is just moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is
knowing after all the unreturned phone calls,
broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals,
through all the pain and embarrassment…
you never gave up hope."
