There is such a word as independence, and not nearly enough citizens recognize its meaning. Sadly enough, they are kidding no one but themselves. This is precisely the part the fairytale omits what happens after the initial ecstasy. Americans simply do not seem to grasp the concept of fairytales conveniently omitting the chapters involving compromise and working things through - both good and bad. The fairytale only portrays the initial marvel of the romance, and some people are too obtuse to see through it.
True love is something capable of surviving psychological and physiological transpirations.
The ever-present challenge is having the patience to look forward to true love arriving, as opposed to jumping head first into something simply not meant to be, which will ultimately leave you unhappy.
