"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.
