I never really got into romance, rom-coms or another movie of the sort. I could never really put my finger on why I had such distain for the genre. Until I did some self evaluation. Through my evaluation I learned that I have a deep routed jealousy of the main character who in the end falls in love with her Prince Charming.

I know this is an obscure point of view but in my defense it feels out of touch. These types of movies make me have hope. Hope is good when you have faith that all will work out. During the movies my mind is thinking “wow, that could happen to me!”. Then reality hits, the question- could it happen for me?, will it happen for me?.

Keeping hope alive in the current dating world is so hard. Right now people have access to almost anyone. At anytime. At any place. Which leads my mind to wonder and wondering while dating is a big no, no.

Being detached is what keeps hope alive.

As I write this I had an epiphany. That’s literally the whole point of rom-coms! Yea, it took me this long to realize.

Maybe with my new found perspective I will try out rom-coms and entertainment alike.
