Quote : He's Just Not That Into You

i told yall i was watching he's just not that into you, right? well, at the very end, gigi said this quote. it really made me think.

"Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment you never gave up hope."


guilty. i think i'm one of those people that is so focused on the bigger picture/future-- so much so that often times i forget to enjoy the now. i know that if i keep doing this, i'm gonna regret it. my happy ending is almost too typical. yeah i want a fairy tale. [fairy tales aren't even real]. i want to fall in love with a man who truly loves me for me, get married but still be independent, have a job that i love going to, have kids, etc. & maybe those things will happen. maybe it won't. maybe those things aren't what i really need. but i just gotta let it happen. a lot of times people can't see the bigger picture. i think i'm the opposite. i never live in the now. sometimes i feel like i can't. i'm always worried about something. this and that. that and this. i need to live a little. my happy ending needs to be me realizing that i'm never going to be truly happy if i'm always worried about tomorrow. if its meant to happen, it will. i have everything i need. & that should be enough. tomorrow will take care of itself. [matthew 6:34]. anyways, that's just what i got out of this quote. off base, but that's just how my mind works. :)

the beginning.
