You know I just finished watching the movie "Letters to Juliet." - HATED IT!! No, really I loved it because it had one of those warm, sappy, happy endings and it just pisses me off! Why do they make movies like this? This is not real and all it does is make little girls think that when they grow up their lives are going to be one big happy, romantic story. Where are the kinds of men in real life? Hell, where are these kinds of women in real life? I was one of those little girls who grew up watching movies like "Gone With the Wind" and reading Shakespeare; thinking that my Prince Charming was out there waiting for me and that life would be one big fairy tale. Boy was I wrong and what did it get me? A lot of disappointment and bitterness!
Don't get me wrong. I am happily married and I love my husband with all of my heart, but the road that got me to this point was full of bumps and potholes! Which taught me to be the cynic that I am today! So, if anyone out there reading this is one of those sappy authors....STOP IT!!! No more love stories, no more setting girls up to be disappointed by the realities of the world, and no more lies!
