Plans Fall Apart

I had this cute idea of posting a picture of Cinderella and Prince Charming, as an advocate of fairytale endings--old school Disney style...but then I realized relationships are as delicate as the creation and existence of our planet Earth.

Circumstances have to be JUST SO in order for anything to really work out. Why do people make the decisions they do? Dating is so hard... and just like the Earth--conditions of air, water, gravity, space from the sun...exact moments of atoms colliding, certain matter being created, other matters not being present...this idea becomes intimidating. In relationships, we have to be creators. Why and HOW in the universe do things work out when they do?



If it is ever really going to work: you both have to be in the same place at the same time...you both have to be single, you both have to be just out of a relationship long enough that you want one, but not so long that you're desperate, but long enough that you're over the person you were last with. You need similar interests, desires, goals, backgrounds, senses of humor, ideas about and for education, religion, not to mention the complicated chemical that is attraction. No one story is the same as any other. And each time we think it COULD work out--someone freaks out, or someone forces it, or someone cheats....next thing you know it's square one. BOOM.



Forget you Cinderella.
Screw Prince Charming.
