Movies are Bullshit

     In movies love is easy. Well, it isn't, but it makes sense there. Mistakes can be fixed. The love of your life comes back. Hell, you have a love of your life to begin with.
     It always starts out perfect and then there's a problem: distance, break-ups, illness, another person, doesn't really matter. There's always a problem. The solution is usually ridiculously silly. The problem here is that movies teach you that your true love will always come back if you make the right speech. If you say how you truly feel, all will be perfect. You'll move in together, or get married, or whatever the goal was. Then you'll live happily ever after.
     This is reality. The speech doesn't fix anything. It just leaves you feeling pathetic and empty. There's a reason you broke up. There might be someone else, maybe one can't stand the other anymore, what does it matter the why? You aren't together and trying to force things is a waste of time.
     As much as I love chick flicks and fairy tales, we live in a world with divorce, and death, and single mothers. Couples break-up every day. There is no "meant to be" and some people will end up alone. The trick is to move on.
