"Life is not a movie. Life is not a movie." I had to keep repeating this to myself because it is true. Life is not a movie. Everything does not always work out the way you plan. The dream guy does not always show up. Friends let you down. Family can disappoint you. It is the brutal truth in this cruel world that needs to be learned, especially by people like me. As I sit here and wait for someone who is not going to show up, I have to try to tell myself this, "life is not a movie."

    Sad, but true. Until it's a documentary afterward hahah. Good (albeit sad) story, Natalie. I like the way tenses shift around in here to drive the point home.
