What exactly constitutes a happy ending? The prince slaying the dragon and kissing the princess, awakening her from the sleeping death? A father and his two-fisted archaeologist of a son riding off into the sunset? A mermaid becoming human and marrying the man of her dreams? Possibly. But these endings all come from stories and fairy tales… Are there happy endings in real life? How are they achieved? Picture perfect relationships seem to go swimmingly then end on no account and all-of-a-sudden… This is not some cynical entry I'm writing in regret of a failed relationship, its just me wondering… Do happy endings really exist? Are they out there?
I have only ever been in one serious relationship, and it seemed to be going PERFECT. For our one month I took her to the park for a picnic and then to see her favorite movie re-released in 3-D. I kissed her for the first time that day as well. And she kissed me back. Figured it was a good sign. I was in the mindset that I may find a happy ending on the first shot. Well, this was a Saturday… Then Monday rolled around, and she cut it off… I was completely lost… Didn't have the slightest clue as to what happened. For about two days I went bonkers trying to find a way to fix it when I realized: She broke it off, didn't give me a reason as to why, but promised it wasn't me. I had a revelation that I shouldn't be beating myself up over a girl who would do this. She isn't worth it. It's her loss and I deserve better… Well, this was April. We're in early July now, and I'm looking at another potential relationship… There is a girl who I plan on asking out (given I get time off work) and I've got a good feeling about it, and if we get through a few dates and seem to be hitting it off, I'll ask her to be my girlfriend. HOWEVER there is a wrench in this plan… She leaves for Texas in September for the Air Force… But I really like her. So, is that a potential problem? Or if we wind up caring enough for each other will the number of miles be simply a number? Or will it be an immense gap, again keeping me from my happy ending? The only difference here is that when and if I go through with this, I'll be going willingly… I could be slamming myself headlong into a wall of heart cracking (A heart can only be broken if you give it to someone, I won't be giving my heart to a girl unless I have made up my mind to marry her. When I date, that's me showing the girl my heart basically saying, "If you prove yourself to me, I'll let you hold this…" Okay, tangent over.) which is quite painful… Or again, miles could just be a number and not something to be worried about. And who knows? Maybe she'll just reject me right up front!! Then there will be absolutely NOTHING to worry about! So, anyway, happy endings… Any thoughts?
