The Work of Happily Ever After
I think the narrative needs to be changed. Happily ever after does exist, but it comes with work, communication, compassion, selflessness, and a long list. I think sometimes we are guilty of rushing into relationships without healing from previous ones, without noticing the red flags, and without having serious conversations about money, extended family, religion, and so on. Sometimes, we check all those boxes, but there is still a shift. People can grow apart, and it’s no one’s fault; it just happens.
