Sappy movie season
So if you're anything like me, a real sap especially during the holidays, you would be watching Hallmark movies this past month.
Yes, it's that time of year again, sappy movie season and as much as us singles should be mad as hell about all these movies, I can't help but to watch. Kind of like a car wreck, you don't want to watch but there you are rubbernecking as you drive by.
Yes, we all know the premise of these movies, they meet, they either hate each other or fall madly in love. Something happens, they break up and somehow in the end they end up together. Yes, you're happily ever after all wrapped up in an hour and a half.
If only life could be that simple and even though I know that this is a fairytale, I still believe in fairytales. I can't help but to watch, to hope that one day I will find that love again. Yes, I am an eternal romantic, I am Tinkerbell, I believe.
But as I watched these back to back sappy movies I couldn't help but wonder how many people actually get depressed watching them? I mean the holidays are hard enough, we reflect on things past, people we loved who are no longer here. We have memories of things that may not be anymore. Some people may be alone and lonely and watching this "Fairytale" may just put them over the edge.
I know there were many Christmass that I was a blubbering mess even while I was married because I was miserable. Wishing I could have that, longing for a love like that and knowing I was stuck, and unhappy.
Yet even though I knew all that I still watched, why? You may ask, because I still hold on to that tiny bit of hope in the love department. I am, after all, Tinkerbell and I believe that one day, my king will come.
I already had my prince and I definitely think I need his daddy this time. Read my old blogs to get that reference, anyway no matter what I still hold out. I still have that faith as small as a mustard seed that I am clinging to. Because really what is life without love, without hope and without faith? It would just be bleak and dark. Imagine not having dreams, not believing in anything, yet there are so many people out there just like this.
My life in the last 8 years had more changes than I could imagine, more miracles happened, more joy and more peace than I ever knew. It was all because I had hope, I believed so much that I had the word tattooed on my foot to remind me. I never gave up hope even in the dark times, even though the storms, I still believed.
So today my friends, go ahead watch these sappy movies, indulge yourself in a weekend marathon of them, hell a whole month of them, if you're anything like me. Believe in the impossible, believe in fairytales, believe that anything can happen if you only believe.
