FAIRYTALE'S LIE
-----
Once upon a time there was a princess.--
Actually, she wasn't really a princess. She was plain, and not very smart, or talented in anything, so basically, she was average.
--
Almost.
--
She was a little wacky, insane, crazy, loud, weird and many other things... but we'll move on from that.
--
Well, this princess had some friends, some close, some distance, but they all fought over the same thing.
--
Love.
--
She'd had boyfriends in the past, and thought that time with them was fun, but she enjoyed being single too.
--
But her friends, well, they thought they had to have a boyfriend or girlfriend or life was a meaningless journey.
--
So they whined. A lot. They pouted and cried and mourned for love that they never fought for. The girls would sit by their windows, looking out for a Prince Charming to realize his life would never be complete without her and sweep her away. The boys were looking for a Cinderella to have a meaningful relationship that took months to build to happen in three days.
--
Well, this girl, she knew love didn't work like that. It took time to build, and grow, and trust was the key factor for the door of which many call "love."
--
So one day, she met someone. Not really a Prince Charming, but it was okay, because she wasn't a Cinderella.
--
But one day, he left, or pulled away, more like it. So while her friends sat by their windows sighing for Prince Charming, or looked at the many girls walking by looking for Cinderella, she put on some good walking shoes and went after him.
--
If "true love" is what you seek, sometimes you have to go after it, and sometimes you have to fight for it as well.

So this is to those who feel exactly what I described. Honestly, if you want Happily Ever After, go after it. Stop whining and complaining and go get it! Stop thinking chick flicks exist and all stories end happy, because honestly, most don't. Guys don't show up with flowers and poetry and girls don't fall into your arms crying with love for you. You need to get off your high horse, get your tennis shoes and run after it.

Another title for this was going to be "Chasing Happily Ever After", but that sounded too serious, so you get what you get.

Amen Janaye! I've had a lot of roomies that refused to be social but really wanted to get married! It drove me nuts to hear them complain. You're so mature with your understanding of love.
