Of course, I'm a romantic.
Let's try that again. Of course, I'm a Romantic, with all the swirly flourishes and soundings of strings and cymbals included.
But I'm not a hopeless romantic. I don't sigh heavily with disappointment, and I don't obsess over potential meanings in small gestures. Nope.
On the other hand, I do sigh deeply with pleasure and I do obsess over subtle meanings in small messages I write in poems and songs.
I am a hopeful romantic.
The romantic in me pays attention to small gifts of beauty and joy that life brings us always and everywhere. And hopefulness means that in times of uncertainty, I put more attention on the bright side rather than the dark side.

The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we have of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think about us.
