Reality Continues To Ruin My Life - Bill Watterson
What is life?
Nobody can answer that question for you because everyone has a different definition of life.
For some people it could be the simple things like enjoying a cone of their favourite ice cream on a hot day by the beach and letting time pass them by. For some, it could be the hardships that they had to go through to achieve their goals and aspirations.
I've always thought life would be having the most important people by your side, parents who love you, siblings to fight with, relatives who adore you, a best friend to be stupid with & the love of your life to create memories with; but as always with anything in my life, reality just had to ruin it.
In the end, my life is having two faced fuckers slying their way into my life, no parents at the end of the day, no siblings to grow up with, relatives who couldn't wait for you to be out of their lives, and losing the love of my life. So only one thing came true, having a best friend to be stupid with.
Either way, life didn't turn out to be the fairy tale ending I hoped it would be. Then again, I don't believe in fairy tale endings. Yes good for Snow White that the prince so happen to find her in the woods, good for Aurora that the prince so happen to find an abandoned castle in the middle of nowhere with a pretty princess sleeping. But reality will never let you get anything by just sleeping.
Now my life is filled with many hard choices and difficult roads to walk down. As it has always been in my life, I can never get everything I want. I have to pick one or the other. I envy those people who can just snap their fingers and get everything and anything they want but for me, I have to always make the decision to lose something & it'll always be losing it forever.
Between your true love & the best thing that could happen to you?
Your true love where you have experienced everything that reality could throw at you & now all you have to do is work towards the life the two of you try to agree on with compromises and promises even after many heartbreaks and turmoil. To experience what life has to offer together when you can finally both achieve it. Yeah, it'll be an adventure to be excited for to work together to eventually get there, but how long will it take till the adventure turns into a horrific nightmare because of all the pass memories you two have shared?
The best thing that could happen to you has walked into your life & all you have to do is open your heart to it. Yes, you might realize that you might never love it like your true love but it promises to show you the world & give you the life you've always deserved. The life of happiness that you were deprived of for so long. Promises that it won't be perfect but they're willing to do whatever it takes to make sure it's the closest to perfection for you.
If you choose either one, you lose the other one for the rest of your life. What do you do when everyone tells you to follow your heart but your heart is torn up between the two? When you start to weigh the pros and cons of both sides & you realize that everything is exactly split down the middle.
You feel like just eliminating yourself from the equation all together because you feel that's the easiest way to solve these emotions. When both can't and won't have you at the end of the day so everybody gets the equal amount of pain & hurt. But you know that's the coward's way of solving it.
Do you take the risk? Do you let go of the best thing that could happen to you for a chance in hopes that your true love has really changed & is promising you the world & is finally fighting for you, or do you settle for what you know is the best thing for you & let your true love become a memory you tell your children one day with the message that they will feel that love too for themselves & be with the best thing to happen to you who is already showing you a glimpse of what the world has to offer?
