We are the lead actor in our own movies. We have a line in every scene and we are given the innermost details of our every thought. So when we fail to play a significant role in someone else's movie or are streamlined to a mere side character, it may sometimes come as a shock. Aren't we supposed to be the girl he ends up with as the credits roll? Aren't we supposed to be the one who gets the big break? The job of a lifetime? When things in life don't follow the script, it can be unsettling. Life doesn't every really seem to follow the script. Maybe we just have to settle for being the sidekick, maybe we have to settle for being the wrong girl, maybe we have to settle for being the one who doesn't get the big break, or the dream job. But maybe, just for now. Movies are supposed to have happy endings right?
