Happy Ending

Movies have often told us that if it’s not a happy ending then it isn’t the end.

Funny how we all grew up believing that

Until life knocked the wind out of us

We then carefully discarded our hopes

Drew curtains over our dreams

We emptied the bowl full of optimism and garnished it with some doubts and cynicism

The reality of life was a no longer happy ending

It was made of losses and heartbreaks

Of grief and pain

Movies we thought are unrealistic, they serve us only a spoon full of optimism

Hiding beneath it the harsh kickbacks

But, I refuse to believe that

The only reason we find those movies unrealistic is that we see our life’s complete reel within a few hours

When movies serve a dose of heart warming emotions in couple of minutes,

Life takes decades to show us the same

The long wait takes a toll on us and all those beliefs about happy endings

But we must know that it’s just a matter of time

We must believe that there’s always a happy ending

And till then the show must go on!
