Sweetheart, happily ever after does exist, its just not what you think, he said. Happily ever after isnt a solution to lifes problems or a guarantee that life will be easy; its a promise we make ourselves to always live our best lives, despite whatever circumstance comes our way. When we focus on joy in times of heartbreak, when we choose to laugh on the days its hard to smile, and when we count our blessings over our lossesthats what a true happily ever after is all about. You dont get there by being perfect; on the contrary, its our humanity that guides us. And thats what fairy tales have been trying to teach us all along.
