Really.
It ain't.

A sound relationship can be maintained by coming together to keep it as best as is possible - if two are willing.

But the notion of happily ever after? Nah.

I always questioned the idea that love is a never-ending emotion. How, then, can someone who was married for 30 years get divorced? It is wrong to think that that couple never loved each other.

Here is a more realistic look at love.

Love lasts for the smallest increment of time, yet lends itself to the next. If nothing happens to change love, it continues.

Think of love as linear. Once it is knocked of track, it can come to a end.

Honey I have figured this out along time ago. Nothing is forever and that is what sucks the most I think.

Check out Anita Baker's "Fairytales" from her album "Composition."

It says it all. Just wish I could find the lyrics for you Gooey.

Anita Baker's "Fairytales"

I can remember stories, those things my mother said.
She told me fairytales before I went to bed.
She spoke of happy endings and tucked me in real tight.
She'd turn my night light on and kiss my face "good night."

My mind would fill of visions, of perfect paradise.
She told me everything. She said he'd be so nice.
He'd ride up on his horse and take me away one night.
I'd be so happy with him, we'd ride clean out of sight.

She never said that we would curse, cry, and scream, and lie.
She never said that maybe, someday he'd say goodbye.
The story ends, as stories do. Reality steps into view.
No longer living life in paradise. No fairytales.

Oh,oh,oh

She spoke about happy endings, of stories not like this.
She'd say he'd slay all dragons, defeat the evil prince.
She'd say he'd come to save me, swim through the stormy sea.
I'd understand the story. It would be good for me.

You never came to save me. You let me stand alone.
Out in the wilderness, alone in the cold.
My story ends. as stories do. Reality steps into view.
No longer living life in paradise. No fairytales, yeah!

I don't look for pies up in the sky baby!
Need reality now! I said I don't feel the need to be pacified,
don't you try, honey I know you lied.

You never came to save me. You let me stand alone.
Out in this wilderness, alone in the cold.
I found no magic potion, no horse with wings to fly.
I found the poisoned apple, my destiny to die.

No royal kiss could save me, no magic spell to spin.
My fantasy is over, my life must now begin.
My story ends, as stories do. Reality steps into view.
No longer living life in paradise. No fairytales.

Oh, oh, oh

Het blijft het streven waard !!

or it can come back in some lucky cases, as it did with me.

Thanks Stymie.

The lyrics say it all.

Let me just tell you this Goo- if you're not living "happily ever after," it must be the other person's fault.

i've been there...

Phoenixxx said:

YEAH

"Could it be looove?"

Or am I just horny?

Hey Gorgeous Gooey.

Diva said:

Hey sweet Tracy.

For Gooey!

Don't freak yourself out thinking about forever and so on... try to keep your mind on the somewhat immediate future!

Some sound advice for everyone, including myself.

Even another !

Purrr

Thank you all for your hugs and well wishes.

It is just that I took ONE step towards the future and I now have to wait for someone else to take the second step.
But things look hopefull now!
I just need lots of attention and love.
