Sometimes a story just needs an ending, and I used to not be a creative enough person to think of an ending to a romantic story that isn't a wedding or a death. This story didn't end in fireworks, because the truth is, fireworks are something from my twenties. I could have made fireworks, but I chose to make a nuanced memory of a person who is neither a hero nor a villain in my life. All I had to do now was move on.
The narrative reflects on the challenge of concluding a romantic story without resorting to conventional endings like weddings or tragic deaths. The author acknowledges past limitations in creativity, recognizing that not all relationships fit neatly into typical tropes. Instead of opting for dramatic fireworks, the choice is made to remember the person in a more complex and realistic light.
This nuanced memory captures the essence of a person as multifaceted rather than simply categorizing them as a hero or villain. The central message is about acceptance and the importance of moving on, suggesting that growth often lies in understanding relationships in a deeper, more introspective way.
