Sometimes reality is better than dreams

But in real life, happily-ever-after is just the beginning. It's where life starts.

I had to learn to value myself before I could expect to be valued by others

without understanding and respect, even love could turn into a trap all too easily

Sometimes reality is better than dreams

I know what I don't want. I don't want to live through somebody else. To do what others expect me to do, be what they think I should be. I have to make my own choices, my own decisions. I have to control my own life, at least as much as any of us can

Saying that you love is easy, but living up to those simple words is the most difficult thing you'll ever do.
