In order to escape the reality that i choose to ignore, I have been reading The Time Traveler's Wife. It's wonderful. It is much different (and better) than the movie and reading it makes me judge the people who decided what parts make it into the movie. And it makes me want to be that person who makes the decisions and i also wonder if these decision makers even read the book.
The book reminds me that in the end, no matter the challenges and heartbreaks and tears and laughter, you've lived a life (or years) madly in love. And I think in the end, that makes it worth it. I think clare and henry love each other in a real way. Like real life. The book doesn't hide their struggles. It doesn't hide their mistakes. They definitely are just madly in love with loving each other and would do anything to protect the other. And i like that. Because I think that's how it should be. That's not a fantasy life i've dreamed up. And i don't think it's too much to ask. Just because it's in a book, doesn't mean it doesn't exist in life.
The End.
