A Happy Ending at Tiffany's

well its that time of year again. Valentines day. (yes im 2 days late) and i am compelled to continue in my tradition of commenting on this sacred day of loveyness. lol a friend commented to me the other day that the initials of Single's Awareness Day spell SAD... it made me chuckle. jess and i had chips and dip and watched Breakfast at Tiffany's V-day evening. it is one of my favorite romances and im just now reflecting on why that is. i guess it is because even though she cant really take care of herself, and she has all these issues, he still loves her anyway. i love that movie because they are raw characters that are both hoplessly flawed but they make each other better and love each other in spite of the flaws. the movie is a sad one, but i feel like it is closer to real life than a lot of modern romances and the ending is happy. she finally gets a grip on reality, and he steps up to be a man. i think that if two people can overcome their issues with each other, then maybe they will turn out all right. when they can see each other at their worst, and still give grace, empathy and love... it can turn into something pretty great.
