Happily ever after?

Sometimes we meet people, and everything leading up to meeting them seems as if it's fate, that we are meant to be together, and you know what, Sometimes we are. But, sometimes fate isn't enough to make a relationship work. 

Let me tell you a love story.

It begins with a hallway. A girl meets a boy, she forgets to ask him his name, she thinks she'll never see him again. Then, fate brings them together via the Internet. They meet up, and realize that they had met before, they then decide that they have fate on their side, they must have been meant to be.

Fast forward a year, they get married. They are 20 years old and think nothing can tear them apart. They begin a life together. And things seem to be great for a while. But then, almost a year later they begin to make each other miserable. They try everything they can think of to fix things, but they just can't. And as quickly as it began, their relationship comes to an end. 

It's hard to re-wire your brain into realizing that life isn't over just because your marriage is. In fact; it's not just you making it hard on yourself, other people make it really hard. 

If I've learned anything from this nightmare, it's this. Sometimes things don't go the way you want them to, and that's OKAY. You may feel like you've run out of breath from time to time, but you're still breathing. You may feel like you are completely hopeless, but you aren't. And you may feel like nobody will ever love you again, but that's NOT TRUE. 

You control your fate, fate does not control you. If you want to be happy, then be happy. If you feel like you aren't the person you want to be, become that person. Don't let a case of "fate gone wrong" keep you from living your life. 

Sometimes happily ever after, doesn't require a prince riding in on his white horse and sweeping you off your feet. Sometimes happily ever after comes from you, doing what you need to do to make yourself happy.
