Storytime Again

Once upon a time there was a girl. A beautiful but modest, talented yet humble, strong and still gentle, kind of girl. The kind of person no one could find fault with.

There was also a boy of course. And some force seemed to have intertwined their lives. It seemed inevitable, like Simba and Nala. Of course nothing is really inevitable, and forces can be halted by exerting an equal and opposing force of stubbornness and blindness.

Refusing to heed expectations, and to submit to the force pulling him towards the girl, he turned his head, exercising his independence and free will. It was time that he chose his life for himself.

Not surprising, his life choices eventually brought him back to where he had first turned his head. Turning it back he realized the girl had gone, he had taken her presence for granted. In her absence he realized everyone was right all along. He had everything he wanted, before he even knew what he wanted.

This is the price of stubbornness, and this is a story that is thankfully not really at all related to me own life.
