“Though fairy tales end after ten pages, our lives do not. We are multi-volume sets. In our lives, even though one episode amounts to a crash and burn, there is always another episode awaiting us and then another. There are always more opportunities to get it right, to fashion our lives in the ways we deserve to have them. Don’t waste your time hating a failure. Failure is a greater teacher than success.” ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Hollywood perpetuates lots of myths and fantasies about relationships.

So much so that it’s difficult to tell what’s real anymore. Photos are retouched, porn shows sex in an unrealistic light and movies make over-the-top romance seem the norm.

The clarity gained from examining these myths helps us define what we want from our relationships and reduce or eliminate a lot of false expectations, assumptions, projections and fantasies so that we may connect with our partner in an authentic, loving way.

According to Webster’s, a myth is “a popular belief or story that has become associated with a person, institution, or occurrence, especially one considered to illustrate a cultural ideal.“
