The Short Story.

Not all relationships are meant to last forever.
Even when you're in love.
Some love stories are short stories.
But they are love stories, all the same.

GREEK, Season 3! the show i've been trying to get some people to watch with me to no avail
:(. well, i recently finished watching episode 18, and i guess i seem to oftentimes attach myself to random quotes, so to speak. but this one really stuck out to me. reason? not sure; probably because it fit so well with what the characters in the show were going through. in any case, i may derive the most random thoughts from these adjoined sentences, but they made me think of how..sometimes, we're just so scared or arrogant or skeptical that instead of even trying to write an amazing chapter in our lives, whether it be related to integrating ourselves into a completely new environment or going against the odds to pursue a dream or finding love - we back down. drop the pen. cause we just don't want to go through with something that might not even 'work'. that might 'hurt' us. that might simply turn out to be a 'complete waste of time'. but honestly, what would be so awesome about life if you just let it pass you by? where's the excitement, the unpredictability? i've got to admit, i'm not one to testify about taking risks. but it's a day-to-day adventure, and i'm learning. maybe i'll stumble and fall. maybe i'll get more than i ever could've imagined. what i'm saying is, some chapters in our lives may not turn out as perfect as a movie. some may simply turn out to be short stories. who knows? it's a long book. but when all's written and recorded, short stories are still stories; nothing's gonna be a 'waste of time'.
and in the end, the journey is the destination.
