I always hate it when the movie ends. I get so involved in the story, when things start to wrap up I don't want it to end. I want the story to continue, I wonder about the characters. I envision their "happily ever after".
This is why I like to read so much. I love a story that comes out in a series.....it's like a long, drawn out movie. I get to follow the story, not just for 2 hours as in a movie. It typically take me 1 week to read a book. Even then, I dread the ending. I don't want the story to ever stop. In a really good book, the characters become my friends and I don't want to say goodbye. I care about what happens to them, I want to stay involved in their lives.
I wonder what that says about me. I still think about how it all worked out for Richard Gere and Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Did they stay together? Did she get her fairy tale? I think that I really believe in the fairy tale; that it can ( and does) work out despite the odds. Maybe it doesn't happen as often as we would like, but perhaps this is why we need the distraction of a book or movie--to remind us that there are good stories out there.
