#aurelia, an epic love

I sat, phone in hand, every fiber of my being screaming at me to hurl it across the room. Realizing I had just spent the last 2 weeks entrenched in this story, I was livid. So before I could write what I thought about this story, I thought it would be best to set my anger aside. So here we go.

Celia Silva had become a part of my family. I looked at her and I wanted her to be happy. I wanted her to have everything she could ask for and I wanted her to just smile. I asked myself how could I get so attached to a character in such a short time when I am so unhappy with the storyline, then I realized it’s because she was actually written really well.

Now let’s be clear, I am heartbroken that aurora died and I’m extremely disappointed that they introduced cata just to make us see that Celia deserved more. However, the fact that I am so angry tells me that the story has really gotten to me. So I had to take a different approach to analyzing why this tale has left such a distaste in my mouth. I compared this story to any straight story where I got just as passionate about the lead characters and lo and behold it’s because they had woven a tale with people that were real. They had flaws and virtues, trials and tribulations you can relate to and a thirst for love that any person can understand.

So that being said, the love story between aurora and Celia is going to be one of those that hold a special place in my heart. From how they met, to the unwavering need for them to be together regardless of the obstacle, this story has it all. True, aurora died, however considering the story and time frame, it was going to happen. The point is the two defied the odds. Even after succumbing to society’s rules, they somehow found a way to be together and for the most part they had a normal life where they could go home to each in a time when women weren’t even allowed to live alone. How can we not appreciate this?

Watching the brief moments where they were at home and felt safe were a joy. The call out of “I’m home my love, how was your day,” to the “I will reheat the stew, sit and eat,” most people would say it’s boring, but the fact is we don’t see same sex couples doing that. The moments when they are alone and talking or reading, the significance behind it are lost on those who take it for granted but not on us. These are the things that made this story so special. The bond between these two, the unwavering love through it all, their love story was epic, but that isn’t the only reason I support this storyline.

Now for me the fact that Celia thought she was sick because of her love for the fairer sex, and that she allowed treatments as barbaric as electro shock therapy to achieve what others deemed as “normal” was the key to this story. Watching her try to be “normal” and having to see her endure everything in order to be, ripped my heart in two. Every scene she had after therapy made me want to throw that doctor across the room. She was frail and you could see the pain but she was hell bent on being cured. Introducing aurora finally showed her that “normal” was subjective. The question was whose idea of normal were you conforming to.

Once she figured out what “normal” meant, it was a joy to watch her accept herself and slowly come out of her shell. I watched her character grow into her own skin. The more comfortable she became the more you could see the strong willed woman behind the pretty face.

She understood the dangers of what her choices could have as she skated the line of being uncovered, but she still allowed herself to love and be true to her life’s path. In this day and age, we can all understand how complex and difficult it is to live our lives authentically. So watching her character do it in a time when the consequences were imprisonment or maybe death, is inspiring.

This got me thinking. Maybe our perception of a happy ever after needs to shift a little. Instead of the conventional girl lands girl and lives to be a hundred, maybe happily ever after means getting to live your life to the fullest. Being able to feel the extremes, from the top of the mountains high and in love, the depths of the sea of being broken and having to piece yourself together, to having your feet firmly on the ground with the renewed vigor to do it all over again. The heart is resilient and as much as we believe there is one person out there for us, why limit our love story to just one? If that one is all the way to the day we die then so be it, in which Celia was aurora’s epic love story, but Celia still has to live through the rest of her life, so why can’t she have another?

So I am choosing to view this story differently. My girl Celia is living her happy ending. In a time when her true self is actually considered criminal, she has chosen to continue. Her story is not over to me, and maybe one day I will write an ending that will suit me, but for now I implore you not to judge this love story by its death. Look at the beauty of it, the characters, the times, and the way it unfolds. Give it a shot, and don’t judge it by the end.

Celia Anniversary

Four years ago we met her (April 22, 2015). Two years ago we said goodbye to her (April 21, 2017). And I could never let this anniversary go by unmarked. Regardless of how much time goes by, the space she left in my heart remains unfulfilled. So here’s to you, Celia Silva, my fierce, little warrior. I will always love you and mourn all the stories that you didn’t get (and rage over some of the ones that you did get). I will always curse whoever doomed you to that insulting ending. And I will always miss you. In spite of it all, you were one of the great ones, and you were so very lovely.
