No one ever tells you how hard it is. I say no one ever tells you because you have to feel it for yourself. You may have heard stories, but you will never know the struggle until you go through it yourself. I'm talking about how to love Or how not to love You see, everyone makes it seem like it's a fairytale and everyone gets their own prince charming at the end of their own book. They don't see what happens behind closed doors. Do you know how long it took to write that book? Do you know how many mistakes the author made? Do you know how many times he wanted to start over and start a new story? Go in a different direction? Replace a character just to find out that that person was needed in ways us as readers will never understand? Yes, in the end, we all get to experience the happy ending But at what cost did it take the author to get there? How many times did he struggle until he just... Settled?
