A hopeless romantic?

I returned from my midterm this evening and decided to reward myself for undergoing such a horrid ordeal (really not that horrid...) by popping in my most recent Netflix movie, which happened to be Pride and Prejudice. The book is simply wonderful, and one of my favorites, as is the movie.

It brings up an interesting train of thought though. I love watching movies about love (if there's a suitably happy ending) and reading books with either minor or major romance between the characters, but I also try to be realistic. I think it would be wonderful if everyone had a soul mate and if people were meant to be together and the endings were all happy, but at the same time I know that this is not how life works. At least I don' t think it is. I do know that people do fall in love and sometimes it's lasting, but then, sometimes it's not. I'm not meaning to be cynical or bitter, I just think it's the way it is.

Love does exist, too bad it's not like it is in the movies. I will continue to watch them though.
