Absolutely No Regrets

"I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married we marry, like, one girl, 'cause we're resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think I'd be an idiot if I didn't marry this girl she's so great. But it seems like girls get to a place where they just kinda pick the best option... 'Oh he's got a good job.' I mean they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they marry the guy who's got a good job and is gonna stick around."

- Ryan Gosling, Blue Valentine

I watched Blue Valentine tonight. The horror movie love story begs the question: Where does love go?

My answer: Where it exists in the first place.

The best decision I ever made was calling off my engagement.
I was settling. He was enabling. I loved my fiance, but I wasn't in love with him.

I'd never been more terrified or alone.

Thankfully, I believed we both deserved more. I hoped there was more. And what can I say - I'm a brazen girl.

For once, I was right. I have absolutely no regrets.
