The fantasy is like Snow White: Purity meets the Prince. The reality is she isn’t even divorced yet!
We’d like to believe otherwise, but reality corrects and sobers us, snapping us back into Now.
Yet it’s all the more heroic when one realizes that the theme is the same amidst a more difficult plot. The same essence of love survives in a harsher environment. With no Disney magic to rescue us, we must love more fervently still, cherishing the earned success even more.
