Dear Reader,
Don't you hate when something you looked forward to get cancelled? TWICE IN A ROW?! So when the Youth Group Fourth of July Fireworks Stranganza was cancelled, it really ticked me off.
Anyways, that was just my little rant. Feel free to ignore it. Now, onto my real topic of the day: Freaking Awesome But Incredible Sad Stuff. For example, just about any book series that is currently popular. Unless you're three years old. Then maybe it's all happy endings and rainbows with unicorns. But not for me. I personally love unhappy endings. My favorite book is Catching Fire (unhappy ending), my favorite movie is The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (unhappy-ish ending), and in my free time I crush children's hopes and dreams. Okay maybe not that last one but you get the point. Disney and I have fought long and hard about this happy ending thing. Well, it was a one sided fight because Mickey Mouse didn't want to talk to me. But then I saw How To Train Your Dragon 2 and SPOILERS it's an unhappy ending. THANK YOU DISNEY!!
So here's the truth. Why do I like unhappy endings? It's a pretty short answer. Because reality refuses to give us our fairy tale ending. The single mom left with two kids living in a rundown apartment didn't have a prince come to save her. The lonely girl never got a fairy godmother. The little boy dying of cancer didn't have a good witch give him a magic potion. The starving people in Africa didn't magically find food on their door step by courtesy of some nice pixies. No, none of this happened. But I'll tell you what did happen to these people. The single mom got a promotion. The lonely girl realized she didn't need some stupid boy to make her feel good. The little boy went into remission. The starving people in Africa were visited by missionaries who showed them how to make money and feed their families.
I don't believe in happy endings. I believe we write our own endings.
Sincerely Yours,
Rae
