One of the most depressing things in life is learning that nothing around you turns out to be a fairytale. Families aren’t perfect, friends aren’t perfect. We usually, then, tend to focus on what we feel we have more control on – our careers. When we face hurdles there, the fairytale comes to an abrupt end again. But the one thing that hurts most is relationships.
Call me a hopeless romantic, but isn’t love supposed to be like it is in the books and movies? Fine! I know I’m in dreamland. But I’ve always had a certain idea of a perfect relationship. Recently I thought I had finally hit the jackpot. By ‘recently’ I mean about a year ago. But as always, things have to go haywire and the good times give way to bad. The fairytale seems to be ending here as well. What else is left to still dream about?
