maybe you're never going to have a fairy-tale ending; maybe your dreams of stained-glass windows will shatter before they can fully form; but i promise you that you'll be happy. someday you will find that person you've been waiting for, that person who fills up the cracks you didn't know you had, you'll drink good drinks and eat good food, you'll laugh the laughs you weren't always sure that you deserved. i know you've been hurt and you've given hurt but that doesn't exempt you from a happy ending. maybe it won't be the kind you thought you wanted, but life, my darling, is sometimes so much better than dreams.
