What I Want

A deadly earthquake followed by a tsunami in Japan. Unrest in the Middle East. Concern about lay-offs at work. Sinus issues and the flu. = All things that happened in one week.

I need to get my mind off of all of the real life drama. I think I need to read a romance novel.

After all, when I read a romance novel I get drama (real life drama more often than not) but I don’t get real life suffering. The difference between real life drama and romance novel drama is at least I know in a romance novel there will be a happy ending. In times like these that is exactly what I need.

Real life drama includes me seeing footage on television of a fast moving wave swallowing up whole towns in Japan. Or footage of a guy with a bloody bandage wrapped around his head somewhere in the Middle East being carried down a street amidst gunfire. I don’t know what happened to the people who were in that town hit by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. I don’t know what happened to the guy being carried down a street in the Middle East. But, I do know, in any romance novel I read there will be a satisfying resolution… a happy ending. No matter the obstacles, at the end of a romance novel, straight talk from the heart or a kiss will resolve the issues between the hero and the heroine. By the time I finish reading a romance novel, I will believe the future is bright. I will believe in happily ever after.

If only it could be that way in real life…until it is…I’ll keep reading romance novels.
