If you were asked to consider the best thing you’d ever spent seven dollars on, you would probably land on something trivial. An artisan sandwich or a carefully crafted cup of coffee. Maybe a cheap ticket to see a band you’d never heard.

When I was fourteen years old, I didn’t have too many serious worries on my mind. Shocking, right? I cared about playing sports, dunkin’ Dunkaroos and winning running races at the park.

“Once upon a time…” The story always starts before carefully unfolding the fairy tales that have come to serve as benchmarks for romantic relationships. They are often theatrical and extravagant, full of surprises but never uncertainty. Even star-crossed lovers are sure of their sealed fates and serendipity is under no circumstances simply coincidental.
