Love, like life itself, is a fragile thing. It can distract you from the harshness of reality and remind you of it. Sometimes what makes things easier is finding someone to share that with. But... life isn't a freaking fairytale, it's hard and it takes the smallest things to bring us back to that reality. To keep us grounded. People don't tend to look past the Superman and just see the man underneath. Clark Kent has realized that he has had enough of being put down and used by the women he thought cared for him in the same way he does for them but all he has ever gotten was ridicule, pain, and betrayal. Thinking that he is meant to be truly alone no matter what he does, he begins to give up on finding his happiness Maybe Ma Kent was wrong, there isn't somebody out there for everybody. Or maybe it just takes a different way of seeing life through someone else's eyes to enjoy the little things that entrance us. Then there's Ettie. She has given up on trying to have a fairytale love story, it's unrealistic and a waste of time. Too many people have been hurt waiting for prince charming. Everything is about give and take, her past has taught her that much, stalking her at each chance. She is so tired of putting others before herself, even at the risk of her own safety, but no more. From this point on, she'll only put in as much effort as they do, she'll care as much as they do, no more and no less. This way she can be happy, right? Join these two on their journey of self-discovery and acceptance as they overcome their fears. Ambedo
