The Hopeless Romantic Syndrome

Juliette's Wall | Verona, Italy

The Hopeless Romantic Syndrome. I know I have it. Do you?

Let's see...

Do you find yourself day dreaming about your wedding or future husband more often than actually paying attention to what you're supposed to be doing...like driving?


If you have time alone, maybe at a park, your eyes always glance to the couples or families?


Does Taylor Swift speak to your soul?


Netflix knows that your favorite movie category is Romance. Always.


Twitter is a never ending place to tweet quotes and all the things you wish were going on in your love life.


Your Instagram feed is picture-picture-selfie-love quote that has something to do with your love life-picture.


You have a Pinterest board dedicated to your proposal, #ringgoals, wedding, wedding dress, and future family. 


When it comes to love, you are always torn between acting like you don't care but always end up caring too much anyway.


You have watched the Fault in Our Stars over 5 times. And cry every time. 


The Notebook is in your Top 5 favorite movies. 


You feel like no one understands you because you like to dream about a different kind of love than what you see today. 


You have some old fashion beliefs -- courting, dates, phone calls over texts, and so forth.



Now, this isn't to say being a hopeless romantic is well...hopeless. I, like you, believe in a different kind of love. In some way or another, I think we share different ideals and souls than most. We are a rarity. You don't want to settle for the ordinary kind of love. You want that suffocating-can't live without-until the end-kind of love. And I believe like you probably do, that it's definitely out there.

I think everyone is a bit of a hopeless romantic but they have definitely have suppressed it for the same reason we find being a hopeless romantic so hopeless -- love stinks.

I mean it doesn't stink. It's just hard. It hurts and it's not easy to find. In return, you end up believing that it's not out there or that it's all just gonna go bad anyway.

I'd like to change the idea of being a hopeless romantic. How about just a romantic?

I am for sure not a girl who believes that fairytales are like real and I need to be saved. No thanks. But do I believe there's a version of Prince Charming out there? Heck yea. He will definitely have his flaws but will save you in different ways.

Maybe he'll rescue you from all those negative thoughts you've always had about men. Maybe he'll save you from sadness or pain. Who knows?

I find myself day dreaming literally all the time. Especially if I like someone. Like, it's baddd.

My thoughts: 
- We'll get married in a cathedral and oh all the beautiful flowers and it will be full of our families and friends.
-Who will I bring to my dress fitting? Like everyone or like just my mom?
-All my bridesmaids will wear a beautiful light blush color...
-Or maybe like a yellow...ew no, not yellow. Will he even like the color yellow?
-I hope we travel the world together.
-Omg a dinner in Paris. So cute.
-What will I wear? Totes something Instagram worthy. Like duh. 
-Oh look an old couple, ugh, I want that. 
-I hope we look cute when we're old.

Please tell me I'm not the only one...

Like goals and ambitions, doing that keeps my hope alive and also the idea that it can be real.
It makes me believe that it's possible because I know it is.


So for all you romantics out there. Keep on day dreaming. Dreams come true one way or another :)
