Finding a happy ending for 'Juliet'
Where to start :-).
Juliet is the Juliet from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. I have been trying to make sense of my life, since I was a child. And now at 56, it seems to me that I can relate to Juliet in the play. In that, my 'Romeo' is my love of horses. Ever since I was a child, my mother was angry with me all my life, she was alive for. She never explained why or showed kindness to me. This had the effect of making me feel guilty for my love of nature and horses. Though when I was younger, I didn't have the words, to verbalize how I was different from my sister, who my mother seemed to be kinder to. My sister seemed to follow the academic path voluntarily, that my mother seemed to expect of both of us. I did go to grammar school and got O levels, then A levels at sixth form college. and even attempted University. But I didn't really want to be on an academic path. In hindsight, if I was left to do what I wanted, I would have gone to an agricultural college, to learn how to take care of farm animals, particularly horses. When I was younger, I did get to getting close to the traditional 'Juliet' ending. Because being made to feel that who I was was not acceptable, made life lose it's point. But I do believe in happy endings, really. So now I can know that loving horses to the degree I do, is permissible. And so I can have a life with horses, guilt free. And this book reinforces that loving horses is more than ok :-). Since the writer spends at least a year living my horse dream. And so I can ignore any disapproval of loving horses. That in itself is my "Juliet's" happy ending :- Know that loving horses is ok :-). Though I would love to win the lotto and so buy a place with 26 acres, I have seen on right move, to house 6 horses, chickens, fruit orchard, dogs and my cats :-)
