Happy endings.


This last weekend I spent WAY too much time on the Hallmark channel watching feel good movies. WAAAY too much time. Yes, that is what I do when I can't run outside because it is pissing rain, going to the gym to run on the treadmill is boring (plus it only takes two hours out of your day), I have baked my heart out (scones, muffins and shortbread) and it is STILL raining PLUS I feel like spending the whole day in my pajamas because it is STILL raining.

So the end result was a weekend of love-can-conquer-all intoxication and a two day you-are-the-ONLY-one-for-me hangover. Better than Tequila to achieve a feel good endorphin fuelled weekend.

However, the fact is that there are very few happy endings, most people do not get to walk off into the sunset while some inspiring music plays in the background. Even after a happy ending, most people in real life wonder. After all of the credits end most people (even in the best movie) will wake up the next day and wonder: did I do the right thing? is she/he REALLY the one?

If movies really showed us reality this is what they would show the morning after.

She/He really may NOT be the one because:

- who knew she/he snored like a truck!

-  this morning at breakfast she/he is chewing with her mouth open.

-  I just got a text from my ex-girlfriend/boyfriend and she/he wants me back.

Now, THAT is a lot more realistic but it doesn't sell so for now I will stick to the fake stuff on TV - at least on rainy days.
