Prologue
A journey always has a destination. It always has an end whether we’re prepared for it or not. Journeys always end differently depending on the person. Your sister’s journey could end in sadness, while your best friends could end in happiness. It could end in a day, or it could end in a few years. There’s something a lot of people don’t realize about journeys. Where one ends, there’s always another waiting around a corner. You just have to go find it.
Journeys, or rather, adventures, end. There’s always something else waiting though. Your sister’s first journey could end in tears, but the next could be the ending she’s been dreaming about since she was a child. Where a breakup is the ending of one journey, marriage can be another.
Endings always take a toll on the person that started on the journey. Whether the ending is sad or happy, it affects everyone.
It’s the ones with the happy endings that we love. The ones where everyone lives happily ever because we use those ones to escape from our own reality. The stories take us by the hand and drag us along.
There’s pain, and there’s sadness that accompanies the happily ever after stories. We try to ignore those moments.
Though sometimes, it’s easier said than done.
