"You can't just expect this all to be easy just because the romance in the movies and novels the TV shows is easy. Screw easy. Fate doesn't exist and it sure as hell doesn't have it in for you. Opportunities for happiness don't land in my lap every day, but I can deal with that. Because for me to take a chance, to have the courage and the push to face possible rejection and certainly changes in my life, that is enough to guarantee me a happy ending."
