The unexpected declaration of love.


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.
and your commitment to each other.

Every movie we see,
every story we're told...
...implores us to wait for it.

But sometimes we're so focused
on finding our happy ending...
...we don't learn how to read the signs.
How to tell the ones who want us
from the ones who don't.
The ones who will stay
from the ones who will leave. 

And maybe this happy ending
doesn't include a wonderful 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.
