I find it ironic that happy endings now are called fairytale endings because there's nothing happy about most fairytale endings.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life.
These happy endings all express the weak and sly promise that the world is not rotten and out of joint but meaningful and ultimately in excellent condition.
And in real life endings aren't always neat, whether they're happy endings, or whether they're sad endings.
I don't know about happy endings, because I don't think, eventually, anything is happy. You feel a bout of happiness with good news. Five minutes later, there could be a traffic jam or a phone call from an irritating relative or a weird thought, or it could be a tweet that annoys you, and your emotion will flip immediately.
For me, a happy ending is not everything works out just right and there is a big bow, it's more coming to a place where a person has a clear vision of his or her own life in a way that enables them to kind of throw down their crutches and walk.
You want a happy ending, but not such a ridiculous happy ending that it doesn't mean anything to anybody.
I like happy endings.
I'm not always going to keep waiting for a fairytale ending.
Maybe my fairy tale has a different ending than I dreamed it would. But that's OK.
Endings are really hard to do, and it's hard to do an ending where it's sort of collaborative with thousands and thousands of people, and to satisfy all those people is impossible.
