I have this very silly habit. Childish, really. I get so involved in a book or a movie, that it all starts seeming real, and I start looking for logical progress.Yea,dont even bother to tell me,that fiction is just a ficition.I already told ya... its a silly thing I do.
I googled the word fairytale it defines as a 'made-up story usually designed to mislead'. The most misleading part of any fairytale is not fantasy.I think, the most misleading part is the happily ever after.
Anyway, since my teenage years, I've been a big fan of mushy movies. And I used to heave a sigh of relief, when eventually, all misunderstandings were resolved, all romance was back and the lead couple got back together... to live happily ever after!
But like all good things, those teenage years come to an end, and the die-hard romantic is forced to grow up. And then she becomes the skeptic, who then starts asking at the end of every such movie, what if they argue again? What if there is a misunderstanding again? What if there is a 3rd person in their lives, AGAIN? Given that the 2 hour movie just showed me a million and one ways in which the relationship could go wrong, how can they then promise me at the end, that all will be happy henceforth??!!
A relationship, or love, is not a destination. Its a journey. And however much we want it to be static in a way, it still is dynamic. ;-)
