Juliet is an Idiot

So false alarm folks... what I mean by my title is that when you are a girl and something catches you eye, you tend to do one of a few things... freak out! cry. LAUGH or over analyze to the point of exhaustion... I did all of these things today because I couldn't be patient enought to wait things out and I let words via technology let me go crazy and not actually wait to see things out. Therefore I say that Juliet is an idiot. End of story.

Juliet and Boy

How many girls out there believe in love? I mean truly believe that it exists in its purest form, without flaw and without any vice to create blemish. We girls sit in our chairs, curled up and snuggling with a blanket and our Ben & Jerry's pint size, while watching our favorite love stories as they play out again and again. For example, I've sat here for almost half a day watching lovey dovey films on Oxygen. One right after the other, these films teach me what? That love isn't easy. Sure, that's a give-in. It's something you have to work at. But it also sets us up for the idea that happy endings actually occur all the time. This is false. Happy endings are not something that just fall into place. Sometimes you have to create them.

Very rarely does fate step in and say, "Hi, I'm going to introduce you two now." I thought that it happened to me this summer but unfortunately this Romeo is turning out to be just another Boy. He's sweet and good natured, with a smile that can light up any room. And I was starting to feel again. I began to have butterflies, like the ones you hear about in the movies; the kind that make you smile all day long for no reason at all. I'd get excited with every text or meeting. But now, after having a "serious" moment, he's ignoring me. He's losing interest. But what to do now? Do I follow the advice of these films that offer false hope and fairy tale endings? Or do I follow my precedence, where I back off until he either quits talking to me altogether or I just end it before he can decide?

What do you all think? Does fate exist? Can a happy ending occur for normal girls like me? Is a happy ending possible for me?
