Today we celebrate a very interesting date. On this day, two years ago, one man was in complete despair, but then something happened that changed his life forever. Here, in this public group, he met the one whom he will always call the best creature in the Universe.
Gabriela, your story with him is a real fairy tale, which became real thanks to the fact that you were able to make sacrifices. He is very grateful to you for that and is very sorry that he could not understand this in time. He asks you not to forget what you both went through. He believes in your future together. He loves you.
We wish that next year, in this date, you will stand with him in this place. You'll both get through this. Don't let this fairy tale die.

Realism
Movement in mid- to late 19th-century art, in which an attempt was made to create objective representations of the external world based on the impartial observation of contemporary life. Realism was consciously democratic, including in its subject-matter and audience activities and social classes previously considered unworthy of representation in high art. The most coherent development of Realism was in French painting, where it centred on the work of Gustave Courbet, who used the word réalisme as the title for a manifesto that accompanied an exhibition of his works in 1855. Though its influence extended into the 20th century its later manifestations are usually labelled as Social Realism.
