I was talking to a friend earlier today, who told me she had given up her hope of living ‘Happily Ever After’. My first thought was no one lives happily ever after… and I almost told her that… but then I though, I’m gonna live happily ever after… and no one is gonna change that…
I think the reason people dont live happily ever after, is because they dont let themselves. They wake up, go to work, come home, eat, clean, go to bed, and rewind. They blame the government, media, alcohol, etc. etc. for the way things are in their lives. They settle down with the first person they get their hands on, and live in the cheapest place they can find.
People will sit there and complain about their lives and their jobs and their spouse, yet never do anything to fix it. Never let themselves live or enjoy the moment. Always worried about what someone else is going to think of them, they work themselves into the circle of paranoia, and therefore refuse to be spontaneous or do something just because they want to.

What they need to do, is just relax. Let go of the pointless and stressful ideal the media has washed over you, take time for yourself, and do something that makes you happy. Indulge in something that will let you live the way you want to live. Dont fall into routine. ^_^
Why do I think I’m gonna live happily ever after? Because I said so ^_^ and nothing and no one can change what I do for me.
Love yourself, trust yourself, and dont let anyone take that away from you.

I wanna live Happly ever after to, but that sounds to much like a fairy tale… to even be true.. i look around and see people that hold hands, and show affection towards one another but behind it all, they probably arnt living the way that had expected themselves too.
In my honeset opinion ” Happily Ever After ” only happens to the people that sit down, and actually think out completly what they want from their other half.
And not, like you said, get sucked into a routine.
