Happy Endings

.cynical yet hopeful.

i dont believe in happy endings...

but i'm hoping that someday,

i'll be proven wrong.

This just goes to show how full of ironies I am. Haha. I am a self-proclaimed romantic but I get cynical when it comes to happy endings. I don't believe that every story ends in happily-ever-after. How does one get happy when something beautiful ends, right? :P But then, I won't mind being wrong about this someday. If someday I find myself saying that I've found my happy ending then I'd be so happy to laugh at myself for once believing that it didn't exist. :)

Just a couple of days ago, I was in a chat conference with my girlfriends. One of them just had her heart broken and she said that there's no such thing as happy endings and that she doesn't want to love anymore. And then I found myself telling her a "tweaked" version of the above statement, "i also don't believe in happy endings. but that doesn't mean i don't enjoy the search for it." Yeah, i feel like I'm not gonna live happily ever after but I do want to fall in love. Even if it means that I'll feel the happiness for just a fleeting second, that's good enough for me. At least at one point I felt happy. :)

I posted the "revised" statement at my twitter account and a friend replied, "why search for it if you don't believe?" and I answered, "baka kasi mali pala ako. baka may happy ending pala. haha." to which she replied, "adik ka ate! hahaha." And I could just imagine her shaking with laughter. :))

It's nice to be conflicted at times. And it would be really nice to be not expecting anything and be surprised in the end. :)
