Movies love to advertise the best case scenario
Ending every story with a heartfelt twist that no one was expecting but everyone saw coming
So we go through life believing that those same things will happen to us
That our parents will get back together after years of divorce
That the hero always wins
That the boy we love will tear through heaven and hell to get us back
But none of that is reality
In real life, there is hurt and heart break and it doesn’t always get better
Life doesn’t fix itself in the fairytale montage way we all hope for
Life is a fight
But not in the royal battle scene sort of way
Life is a war
Each side playing *****, bending the rules to guarantee their win
Without regarding any casualties that may occur at their hands
Life is blind to the blood it has spilled
Making it the most primal killer
But I want you to stay alive
I want you to have your fairytale ending
and find that there is good in real life
But most often
Our parents will stay separated
Our heroes disappoint us
and the love of our life will let us go
Because real life is nothing like the movies
Because there are no happy endings
