So go ahead. Re-watch that OUaT episode where Snow and Charming dance in the forest, completely oblivious to the impending doom. Let it remind you that joy can exist right next to chaos.
Life is messy. Love is work. But as Snow White once said, “The truest of true believers are the ones who choose to have faith even when the world tells them to give up.” That’s a spirit you can borrow, any day of the week.
