A Love Story

A Love Story
the great love story


Have you ever seen a romance movie where the couple falls madly in love and gets married shortly after? I know I have. It's a true "happy ending."

Cinderella knew Prince Charming for only a short while, and she fell in love instantly. It was only shortly after that they got hitched.

Ariel as the Little Mermaid, how long did she know Prince Eric before they got married? It took the whole length of the movie, where at the end you are at there wedding scene. But how long did the couple know each other? How long were they dating?

Well...the time that these couples were dating seemed like a short period of time. It didn't seem like they knew each other for years before they tied the knot. But the viewers of the movie all really melt at these love stories. Boy meets girl, falls madly in love and gets married.

Why can't this happen in real life? I mean people cry and mush over romantic movies. But why not in real life situations? My fiancé and I met, and we fell in love. We both knew that, yes, we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. Only a few months into the relationship with each other we were already speaking about marriage. "That's crazy, you are moving way to fast" would often be the comment from others, and it still is.

Five months into our relationship, I decided to move hundreds of miles away so that way I could be with him. I was overjoyed and ready to leave the hectic city life. "You are moving because of a guy." Okay, yes this might be the main factor to why I moved out of Long Island, but there are also about 50 other factors to why I moved out of LI. Love was not the only reason, so c'mon give me a break (read my "country life vs city" life article to see these reasons).

"Brooke I just really don't understand why you are rushing into it," is what my mother has said to me about ... 100 times. Like give it a rest! It will be officially two years of dating/relationship time before our actual wedding day. Who cares if we are rushing! All I want is love and support. Is that so hard to ask for?


Did Cinderella or Ariel have that? The love and support. Ariel's dad turned her into a human so she could be with man. Cinderella was an orphan and had a evil step mother, but luckily she had her Fairy Godmother.

A real tear-jerker is "P.S. I Love You," my favorite movie. I mean for real, in all sappy romantic movies you just root for the couple and wish that this movie could be you and your life. Haven't we all been there? "I really wish that was me, falling in love and having the happy ending." But what happens when it actually happens? Literally it hits you like a brick wall. You don't know it's coming, and it catches you by surprise. All the feelings come like a flood.

But when you see these sappy romantic movies the attention is usually only on the main characters, the couple who falls in love. Not much focus is put on the family, the parents of the couple. You will only see them in some scenes. So let's say these couples were real life. Would their family be supportive or would they disown them?

Can't we all just be happy for one another? You don't have to understand because love is a very tricky thing to understand anyway. I don't even understand it fully. So please stop asking questions to something that no one truly understands. Love is love. Just try and give your support, that's what all of us "love struck" people want. That's all we want.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
