Why not?!

sometimes i wake up and i'm just not in the mood to face the world. well, my world at least! i feel like facing a different world. where i don't have an essay due tomorrow, there is no one i have to explain myself to, no unpaid bills i need to get around to settling, or even no where i just have to go to lunch!!


sometimes i wake up and i just want to run! (metaphorically speaking ofcourse, i'm not exactly the fittest gal on the block!)


my mother always reminds me that in order for me to succeed i actually need to have a goal. and more importantly a plan.


personally, sometimes i wake up and just feel like writing. i don't have a plot, or a particular mood i would like to portray, i just want to write! so i do. like now for instance!


i was weighing the pros and cons of this habit of mine. turns out, statistically speaking, the cons outweigh the pros in terms of success in life.


but don't you sometimes just want to feel free?!

What's so great about happy endings?


The thing about happy endings is that they're still endings!!


When were reading, listening or even living a story, we can deal with all the drama, the trauma and the nerve wrecking second tries; just for that marvelous happy ending!! When Cinderella finally marries Prince charming after having to put up with her horrific step sisters and step-mother, the story ends there! What's the point? When she finally reaches her highest point of happiness, it ENDS!!


Why is it that we work hard, sacrifice a lot, get lost on the way and find our way back just to have that fairy-tale ending?! Why can't we have a fairy-tale beginning? Why can't we just be happy from the start?


You may be thinking that all this is just unrealistic, you may even be one of those who think people don't deserve to be happy from the start, and that they need to work hard to achieve happiness.. I can agree to some extent with both these theories, BUT I would at least like to know what comes after the happy endings? What are Cinderella and Prince charming up to now? Are they still happy?


Unless someone can answer my question, I think I will start skipping the last chapter in a book! I'd rather use my imagination to create tens of chapters where happiness never ends!


Having said that, this is my blog! This is my happy beginning, with no endings.. I don't promise to blog forever, but I won't end this blog ever!
