Title says it all. Is their such a thing as a happy "ending". Or is it just a figment in humanity? Did anyone ever have a happy ever after type of thing? I'm just trying to figure out where reality and fantasy start and end for others. Or does one only expierance this once no longer in this morbid world?

I know some people who really live that way.... For a number of years I thought that they had to be phoney - but literally this couple NEVER argues. They are ALWAYS smiling and laughing.

So - yes it does exist, but i think it is rare. I think more likely - people simply *accept* their lives as they are.... and perhaps deal with it better than some of us do.

I believe in happy ever after...because from the age of 18 i've add nothing but illness one after the other and still have..i met my hubby 12yrs ago and that was my happy ever after and he supports me so much besides loving me..it's such a wonderful feeling when you've felt half your life a nuisance and pain to others who really never understand besides feeling lonely

I believe some people find that happy ever after state, but I don't believe I will ever find it. I destroyed the realationship that could have been that happy ever after. I still miss in my life, 16 years later.

I believe that is there. The trick, I believe, is stop looking for it. It will find us.

I think happy ever after means you have to block out too much of the world to maintain that feeling. I do believe that life can be rich in experience and positive emotions; but there is much to grieve, and to bemoan in this life also...
I believe in a kind of equanimity that allows us to survive, and even thrive, in all kinds of situations.

where there is 'happy' , there is 'sad',, for every emotion there is an opposite. the brain deals in change,, so, no, i would say there is no "Happy Ever After".

but the good news is,, one can be well and not happy~! it's called Equanimity, it includes a sense of Balance and Proportion: accepting all things as they come, and go. herein lies true ease of heart: to not feel Want, nor to fear the loss of Have; to not find pain in others' words nor deeds; to not depend on them for happiness.

seek Within for peace and sufficiency.

If you would of asked me any other time before the past month, i would of said yes... as it stands right now, the only ending seems to be wrecked with sadness and not amounting to much. can't do much... and i've noticed today that my typing is lacking any "lol"s even in my texts. it seems like i've been shunned. i'm not even recieving any texts back from people. No one seems to want to talk to me, and no one seems to want to be friends with me.. i dont even think the aquantinces are wanting to even know me anymore.. then i looked back at previous messages before today that i've written and such, found atleast one "lol" in each one.
and yet, here i am.. still riding through the waves. not making any myself, but atleast i'm not currently stuck underneath the waves.
I'm pretty sure, it's the depression that causes things to be so clouded... right now i feel like life suxs completely.. but beforehand, things had good moments in it too.. even warm fuzzy feelings off and on within the recent past. and usually there are more good than bad times. everything comes to an end i supose, but i guess its how one percieves how to take that ending, is what determines if it's a good or a bad one.

*hugs*

I believe we can come out of depression and feel happy again but the "ever after" dunno bout that.

I did not believe in it until my mid-30s when things started to finally turn around for me and head up instead of staying down.

Not for me, too many mistakes. Poor choices. Doomed.
