🌸 When the Ending Feels Sad… but Then You Wake Up
Saturday musings ~ by Pvaishnavi
Today, I found myself rewatching a scene from "Fall in Love with Him."
A simple choice for a slow weekend, or so I thought.
But this scene — it pulled me in. Again.
At first, it felt like a sad ending. The kind of sadness that isn't loud or dramatic, but quiet... aching. A goodbye that doesn't get closure. The type of heartbreak that lingers, not because it's big — but because it's honest.
I paused.
Stared at the screen.
Felt that familiar weight of “Oh no, not again…” — thinking, this is it. They really ended it like this?
But then... a twist.
It was just a dream. A scene within a scene.
The characters wake up, and we, the audience, breathe.
Relieved.
Confused.
Smiling, a little.
Not necessarily happy, but at least — not sad.
☁️ And what if… life is like that too?
What if the “endings” we fear — those painful goodbyes, the disappointments, the dreams that crumble right before reaching the finish line —
What if they’re not endings at all?
What if they’re just a part of the dream we’re having — the anxious what-ifs, the imagined losses, the rehearsed tragedies?
What if… one day we just wake up,
And everything is still possible?
🌼 Not Happy… But Not Sad Either
That scene made me reflect on how often we assume the worst —
In relationships, in opportunities, in self-belief.
We predict failure, abandonment, loneliness.
And sometimes, the story really does go dark.
But sometimes, it doesn’t.
Sometimes, the twist is softer than joy — but gentler than grief.
Sometimes we wake up, and it’s not as bad as we feared.
✨ The Real Takeaway
Not every ending is permanent.
Not every fear is truth.
And not every “sad story” has to end the way it begins.
Today’s reminder was this:
Even when you brace for heartbreak —
Sometimes, you’ll wake up... and find hope waiting.
Not a perfect ending.
But a chance to continue.
—
Maybe that’s enough.
Until next time,
