we are like jax

Love and other disasters, "Love and other disasters." Love means a little bit of trouble.
But later we will find that it seems that most of them are asking for trouble.
Jax is stubborn about Paul being GAY, so. Peter's fantasy of Tom, who has only met once, is so.
Even Tallulah's frustration with the perverted telephone operator when she stopped calling her.

"You sleep with someone you don't love, but never with someone you love. Because if you don't, you'll break your rules."
Jax's rules are a little hard to understand.
But what Peter said later was quite understandable to me. If you only have a physical relationship with someone you don't love, and keep a distance from someone you love, you will never be hurt by it. Just like Jax has no feelings for her XBF, only sympathy, so she won't feel too sad, after all, even if she is sad, it's just guilt for the poor XBF.
It's a pity that it has not started, it has ended. Thinking that all heterosexual men in this world are unsuitable for you, and that all good and charming men are GAY, how can you find true love with such a distorted view of love?

"I wonder if true love is just a conspiracy. A big lie concocted by the film industry, the publishing industry, the music industry."
Peter's suspicions are understandable. Indeed, when I can't find the feeling of love, I really doubt whether it exists in this world.
We are constantly edified and exaggerated by love movies, novels, and songs, thinking that there is true love in the world, and love is eternal, but maybe we lack a little fate, so we can wait and so on for the moment of electric shock.
However, stories are always stories, and reality is always reality. In fact, the two are still different.
True love may come quietly, sitting quietly beside you, a little shy and hesitant, waiting carefully for you to discover it. But more often, we will cocoon ourselves, stick to some unnecessary principles, or firmly believe in some meaningless moments, thinking that everything is destined.
So Jax will be convinced that Paul is GAY and that she can go topless in front of him and would rather marry him in a fake marriage to help him not get deported, but can't accept the fact that he is not GAY and that he really loves her. It turns out that God does not like to make fun of people. When fate really arrives, people themselves are the most troublesome creatures.

In fact, we are also like Jax. We believe in true love and yearn for true love, but often for the so-called sense of security, we would rather take a step back, watch without moving, and be a quiet bystander. Maybe, like Jax and Peter, watching the fairy tale of Breakfast at Tiffany's on TV, dreaming their own distant dreams, and falling in love illusory.
But dreams are always about to wake up, and people still have to face reality. To love or be loved, you have to take that step.
"I don't know that Paolo's the love of my life, but I've decide to give him the chance to be. Maybe true love is a decision." Jax's words are a classic in the show. Love, in fact, does not fall from the sky, you are willing to take that step, to confess, to hold hands, to hug, to retain, this is love.
Love means giving each other a chance, bravely giving, not afraid of harm, and not afraid of the future.

The end of the story can be said to be nonsense and happy. Their story was scripted by Peter, and watching Gwyneth's Jax and Orum's Paul hug each other at the airport, I laughed so hard I almost fell on the table.
But after the joke, what Jax said made me think hard again at the end.
"The truth is too complicated, unsatisfactory, and unbelievable." That is to say, the so-called happy ending does not exist in reality. Because our lives have no end until the day before we die.
In fact, after laughing, crying, worrying, and waking up, it is enough, right?
