Hollywood Ending...

So I want to know.... when in real life do you really see a "Hollywood" ending??You know.... you meet someone in Seattle on a radio show....fall in love...and meet at the Empire State building to look into each others eyes and live happily ever after? Or when does the man of your dreams, who is engaged to someone else, decide he can't live without you and finds you in a city park and you dance in the rain? Oh yeah....and you can't forget the feeling of that first time forbidden love with the rebel from the other side of the tracks... the one who happens to be a sweet, sensitive guy who shows everyone in the end that..."nobody puts Baby in the corner".

Yes, they are movies. Yes, it's Hollywood. Sleepless in Seattle. The Wedding Planner. Dirty Dancing. "Romantic comedy's", or as they are more widely known...."chick flicks". Why have they been given this title? Simple. Chick flicks give us hope. Chick flicks give us the chance to see that other people out there, although fictional, want and desire the same things as we do. It gives us a promise of that perfect guy or girl out there who will show up in the middle of the night proclaiming their love for us with a tear in their eye and hope in their heart. But come on.....does this SERIOUSLY ever happen???

YES!!!

I have decided that I am proclaiming; speaking it into existence that yes, one day it will happen! Do I know when? No. Do I know how? No. Do I know who it will be with? Hell, no! But I know one thing. I am, from this day forward, keeping the hope alive that I will get my Hollywood ending!

The movie Love Actually is a brilliant movie. If you have not seen it, go do it. I mean it. This movie follows so many different "love" stories, showing that there are many different kinds of love. And even if you don't find your Hollywood ending where you think it should be, wait. Wait, and love will find YOU. Wait, and love will come around. Wait and love will show up when you least expect it, and maybe in a way you never expected it. Because if you look around, and sometimes you really have to work hard to see it, love actually is all around us! It's in different forms. It's in friendships. In parenthood. In a pet. In a new found talent. In an accomplishment. In a sister. In a brother. In music. In life.

I heard a quote the other day that inspired me and moved me so deeply, and I will hold onto this until I get my Hollywood ending....

"Waiting is the worst part of life....

But the best part of life is having....

something worth waiting for".

Just wait....we will get our Hollywood ending.
