Romantic Idealism

I don't know if it is a result of reading too many books as a child, but I think somewhere between all the reading and the thinking, I became an idealist.

Even worse, a romantic one at that.

There isn't anything wrong with that, I suppose, but I find that my idealism gets in the way. Reality isn't as grim as I think it is, and my expectations of how I want life to turn out won't result in the way I hope it should.

I wonder if I keep searching for something that won't exist, I might miss out what it right in front of me.

Silly thoughts. Effects of education, I suppose.
