we find our ending. The hit HBO TV series Sex
and the City is a great illustration of how love is no
longer about the end goal of finding the man, but
rather the exciting journey along the way. While
modern-day fairytales have dashed some of our
hopes with reality, they also tell us that true love
sometimes comes along more than once, is
available at any age, and we even get to be our
own hero while we find it.
Happily Ever After?
And cue Bridget Jones... I mean seriously, if this
isn’t a classic example that we can find true love,
aka Mr Darcy, after 30 then I don’t know what is!
Of course the fairytales of our childhood led us to
believe that we had to be wed to a prince on our
16th birthday or we were considered over the hill,
but at least now there’s a happy ending awaiting us
after 30 #phew. While the pursuit of finding “The
One” and a happy ending is st ill the ultimate goal,
love stories today have made the in-between part,
or “journey”, a whole lot more fun and interesting!
No longer are we expected to sleep, slave away or
be physically transformed until this happens –
women are instead given the green light to explore,
live, discover and get it wrong a few times before
