All this time, I kept dreaming of finding the right guy and living happily ever after! The typical fairytale ending, with "The end" written across the screen in beautiful cursive.
But not even for a moment did I think about what would happen after "The end".
Now that my "The end" got written across the screen, I'm just realizing that its actually just the beginning and definitely not the end.
The beginning of a roller coaster of emotions. Love, joy, excitement, adrenal rushes, overdrives, pain, separation, hurt, condolence, sacrifice and bliss. Suddenly, things are not as "happily ever after" as the fairy tales made it seem.
Now I know that I don't want a fairytale. I want to live. I want to feel every one of those emotions. I want to know what it means to love and live. I want to be with you.
And I'm willing to give this all it takes. I'm ready to go through the confusion, fear, the pain of separation and the judgments for you.
Because if this is what happens after "happily ever after", then I'm ready to take every bit of it.
And I know you are too.
So lets live our "here after", shall we?
Well I think that's the right attitude. Most people screw their relationships expecting too much. Your last line in the post says it all. "here after" you need to be practical and understanding. There is romance but don't get lost in the blur.
