Dark Thoughts and Great Movies

They say most girls dream of being a princess and want to be rescued by the prince. What about the boys? I for one wanted to be the prince, find my true love and live happily ever after. Isn’t that what most of us want. I did not know the story ends with the princess sleeping with all 7 dwarfs the Ogre and even Donkey too. Why can’t we be like penguins or seahorses or better yet a Jacob type Werewolf? Damn you Morpheus and your red pill! (YES…I just referenced Snow White, Shrek, National Geographic, Twilight and Matrix). Never really understood the phrase, “ignorance is bliss” until now. Thought I was married to a virtuous woman, I was very religious, had heaven to look forward to and a purpose in trying to save the world. Now that I’ve taken the red pill, I am enlightened more sympathetic more tolerant, which is ironic because that’s what religion was supposed to teach me. So now I’m less of an A hole but miserable. I guess I would be happier if I could find love again, maybe there’s a Trinity out there for me, but if I’m honest I’m afraid to get hurt again. I need a friend but they may let me down too. What am I crying about? I’m not the only person that has experienced a broken heart. It’s been 10 years, get over it! I have a lot going for me, 3 beautiful children, a family that loves me, a great career and more… But I so desperately want to believe…should I fake it till I make it? Is that the blue pill? Does Prozac come in blue? I know what is good for me but can’t seem to move forward. Is there a happy ending for me?
