Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending.
Every movie we see, Every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave.
And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy,
maybe it's you,
on your own,
picking up the pieces and starting over,
freeing yourself up for something better in the future.
Maybe the happy ending is just moving on.
Or maybe the happy ending is this,
knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment
you never gave up hope.

Yes, happy endings = you never gave up hope. I love!
@~Carrie~ So true. Gotta keep the faith. :)
wow! hindi ako masyadong nag nosebleed sa recent blog entries mo. I find them a bit... more open, more personal. choz. Ayan pwede nako magcomment na hindi haharap sa dictionary. lol.
"you never gave up" ---> more than a happy ending, it's a fun fulfilled journey.
*hugs*
@Toilet Thoughts Salamat bro. You don't know how much validation what you said gives me. Never giving up doesn't mean unhappiness. It just means you choose to look at possibilities, rather than failures, new chances rather than missed ones. *hugs*
wow..same sentiments with Toilet Thoughts, this post isn't so nosebleed ahahha...
but on the last paragraph about not giving up hope after endless embarrassments and pain...isn't that masochism? ehehe
@soltero I wish I could take credit for it, but those weren't my words. I simply quoted them. But thanks, still. Isn't it only masochism when you choose to stay after all those things? Maybe what the writer mean was not losing hope after the failed attempts. :)
ang serious mo naman jan...kaya mo naman maging happy kahit wlang lalake sa buhay mo...ienjoy lang ang life...
@Mac Callister I agree. Hehe. Ganyan lang talaga ako mag-sulat. Force of habit eh. :)
i will copy and save the words in my email because, i know, this will come handy in the days to come. :D
@kriscanimo Glad you found the words meaningful. I did too. :)
