What about my happy ending????
My best friend Jennifer makes fun of me all the time because I HATE movies with a bad ending. You know the ones that just stop and don't fill in the rest of the blanks? I want to know EVERYTHING about the characters lives including their happy ending. If the boy gets the girl then I want to know did they get married? Did they have kids? Are they happy? Where are they now? I want no detail left unsaid. I really hate the ones like Harry Potter when you know they are not making another one and they show you Harry's kid at the end. WHAT THE HECK?????? Now I want to know which house did he choose? Is someone trying to kill him all the time? Does he fall in love? I just can't handle it. It actually ruins the whole entire movie for me.
Now before you start thinking that I am crazy hear me out. I have not always been like this. I realized that this is something that has just recently been bothering me. How did I come to this conclusion you ask? Well I was babysitting the other night and I decided to watch one of my favorite movies...August Rush. I remember this movie being SOOOO awesome! I had not seen it in a few years so I did not remember everything...especially the ending. I sat down, got all cozy and got lost in the music until...THE END! UGH!!! That was the worst ending I have seen in a long time. They just look at each other. That's it! Then it's over.
As I sat back in silence I realized that this was one of my favorite movies. How come the end never bothered me before? Well here is what I decided. I have only had this hate for bad movie endings for about 2 years now. Hmmmm 2 years. I graduated from college 2 years ago. Coincidence? I think not. I realized that I hate not knowing how everything turns out in a movie because I hate that I don't know how everything turns out in my life. I don't know what I am going to do when I grow up. I don't know who I am going to marry. Will I have kids? Will I have grandkids? I have been so worried about the happy ending that I forget to be in the story. My life is so crazy hectic right now with moving to a foreign country in 3 months that I have gotten myself all worked up in the ending and I am not enjoying the middle.
This chapter of my life is that...just a chapter. It is not the end of my story. My story is hopefully quite long. But my chapter at NORTHchurch is ending for now and a new chapter in Pais GB is starting. I am so excited for this adventure. I just need to remember that "maybe it's not about the happy ending, maybe it's about the story."
