Santa Love

Last night, I watched ‘Kate and Leopold’ for the nth time. Just when I thought I had memorized every word, every line, I missed just about the most important conversation of the story.
It was eight in the evening and Kate found herself mesmerized by the candlelight and the sound of the violin. Standing near the table at the rooftop Leopold escorted her to an unforgettable dinner, followed by a dance.
There, she told him, “…I’ve never been good with men…” “…love is only a fairytale for adults, like Santa Claus for children…” “…no one can live in a fairy tale life…” (paraphrased, but exactly what I wanted to point out)
This is perhaps one of the reasons why I created this blog. While I admire Kate for her strength, her will to survive in a man’s world, she has hardened her heart, afraid to love, to give in. The perfect example of the modern woman.
I only hope that I will not be like her, toughened by life and all the misfortunes it could bring. I could only wish that I’d be able to keep the spark of hope in my life, that there is a happy ending for me.
If there’s none, there would still be an eternity to wait.
