The truth is, we all get so stuck on
the conclusions we penned in our minds that we forget to just
let our stories unfold. Maybe you don’t understand the
ending because you simply haven’t reached it yet. Because
you’re mistaking chapter ten for chapter twenty or
thirty, and you still have pages and pages left to live
through. Maybe at the end of the story you end up alone. Maybe
you end up with someone else. Maybe you end up somewhere you
couldn’t possibly imagine from where you’re
standing now. Maybe there are twelve thousand opportunities for
alternate happy endings sitting right in front of you but you
won’t entertain them because you’re so hopelessly
hung up on the one you didn’t get. Maybe you could be
perfectly happy with the ending that you did get, if
you’d let yourself. Or if you’d simply stop to
realize, after all of this time, that you’ve been the one
holding the pen all along.
