Romeo and Juliet
Back then, I really believed that Juliet was an idiot. For one thing, she falls for the one guy she knows she can't have. Everyone thinks it's so romantic. Romeo and Juliet, true love. If Juliet was stupid enough to fall for the enemy, drink a bottle of poison, and go to sleep in a mausoleum, then she deserved everything she got.
That was till she explained to me that when fate comes into play, choice sometimes goes out the window.
Maybe Romeo and Juliet were fated to be together, but just for a while, and then their time passed. If they could have known that beforehand, maybe it all would have been okay. When I grow up, I'd take fate into my own hands. I wouldn't let someone drag me down. Even now, I believe that for the most part, love is about choices. It's about putting down the poison and the dagger and making your own happy ending, well most of the time. And sometimes, despite all your best intentions, fate wins anyway.
