What did a happy ending even mean in real life, anyway? In stories you simply said, 'They lived happily ever after, ' and that was it. But in real life people had to keep on living, day after day, year after year.

About This Quote

A happy ending is something that we all desire, we want to end up with the one we love and live happily ever after. We live in a world where there is always something that would destroy us and we end up falling for the wrong ones. However, real life is different, there are always people left in our life and we need to keep on living without giving up on them.
