I always compared myself and my problems to characters i saw on the big screen. Thinking if characters had a happy ending or their problems were solved at the end of a season, then mines will too. Unfortunately, life’s a cycle of day and night that doesn’t end after 30 mins. Tv shows don’t express the psychological and life long consequences of every word and action we make. Characters lives are essentially over once the episode or movie ends, mine doesn’t. I’m taking off the rose colored 3D glasses, and living my life realistically. It’s fun to imagine and fantasize the ideal ending, but it’s truly better to live and experience reality.
