121) Life Ain't A Romantic Comedy Movie

There is no such thing as "happily ever after."

​This is reality, not a movie.

My reality continues on until I die, while a movie always has an ending.

​Remember, in reality, life is a balance of sadness and happiness. (That way, I can learn from my mistakes.)

​A family friend has heard many funny, interesting stories about me approaching girls.

​She told me, "Why come you are still single?" (She believes I can find somebody with ease.) 

​I answered with a smile, "Life ain't a romantic comedy movie."
 
A few years ago, I approached a lady in Vegas. Now, she lives in Memphis. To this day, we still remain in contact with each other. We are not dating. We do like each other.

Words about our relationship together: Connect, respect, empathy, honesty, and openness.  

Something magical will happen, then. Yuh, this is it.

Not necessarily. Again, life ain't a romantic comedy movie.

​(In this situation, my younger-self would say, "This will not work out. Why waste my time contacting a lady far away from me? Just shut her down. I can find somebody else in the Bay Area. I will get hurt."
​Now, I tell myself, "It is okay. I am breathing. If I enjoy connecting with her, continue on. Live in the moment. Try not to get my hopes up, such as she is my "one and only." If things do not work out, it is fine. I am breathing. Respect the lady.")

Somehow, I talk to "long-distance" women. It just happens. For instance, I approached a nurse in the Philippines, and I met a lady on an online dating app, Bumble.

​(My younger-self would say, "This sucks. Why do I approach women that live far away from me? I hate my life."
​Now, I tell myself, "I am breathing. Be aware that I am able to talk to women or anybody, unlike before. Be appreciative.")  

Relationships come unexpectedly. (I have said this many times in my old blog posts.) When I am able to connect with anybody, that is powerful. 

​Welcome to my reality. ​​
