Girlzzz

" Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you, he likes you. Never try to turn your own day and someday you'll meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, every story we're told, implores us to wait for it, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule.

But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending, we don't learn how to read the signs, how to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don't, the ones who'll stay and the ones who'll leave. Maybe this happy ending doesn't include a wonderful guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over. Bring yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is just moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing through all the unreturned phone calls, the broken hearts, through all the blunder and misread signals, through all the pain and embarassment, you never gave up hope."
