The beauty is in the journey

Many of us spend our lives planning our happy ending, and to be completely honest I, for one, believe in them. I believe in the power of love and in destiny. I believe in white horses, and prince charming, and happily ever after's in beautiful granite floored castles. I believe in finding the dream job- the one that doesn't feel like a job but like a cherry on-top of your rockin' life.

However, how much time do we spend looking for that special someone? In search of our happy ending. How many tears cried over not-so-happy-endings do we shed? How many sleepless nights do we hang out in our backyard looking at the blank gray sky thinking about how lonely we are?

After much thought and meditation over the progress of my quiet Sunday, I've come to the realization that we will all get our happy endings... we're gonna get what we want- exactly what we want. We're going to get married, we're going to have babies, we're going to land the perfect job, and we're going to buy those Louboutins (yes we are... yes we friggin are). So why not enjoy the journey? Why not let that little smile unfold itself even in the worst of times? Why not be glad we're crying, we're feeling, we're living. WE. ARE. LIVING. The beauty is in the journey AND in the end... so we shouldn't depreciate what we have right now. That way, when we get our happy ending we have absolutely no regrets and we know we've lived without them.
