is it all just in the movies?

You know those movie moments that capture your heart and take your breath away? The scenes that leave you wondering: Where the heck is my Romeo? My Lorenzo Bartolini? Where’s my Noah and why hasn’t he written me a letter everyday for a year?

The fact is that interactions off screen just don’t live up to their movie magic counterparts, but the fact that we’ve seen those perfect situations play out leaves our imaginations burning a fire through our hearts. Yes I’m the girl that watches romantic comedies just because I love to laugh and cry simultaneously. I’m also the girl that daydreams about my drool worthy coworker and hopes that when he turns the light off in the stockroom, while I’m rooting around in there, he’ll find me in the dark and kiss me passionately. I know the possibility of this happening is slim to none, but why does it have to be?  Stand up Hopeless Romantics! Let’s make our own magic!

Why don’t people take chances? Why can’t my coworker pull me into the stockroom, kiss me quickly, and leave before anyone notices? Why can’t the guy I’ve been dating off and on for 3 years do a midnight drive by and ask me to lay out on the grass with him and look at the stars? I’d be happy with a love letter. Or note. Or Post-It.

Just jump into the unknown and take a chance! If you like me, tell me in the sweetest way possible and I’ll melt. Yeah that’s hard for me to admit because I try to seem like such a badass, but I’m a sucker for a smile and a genuinely sweet line.

Catch me. Hook, line, and sinker.
