hopeful romantic

During one of my random overthinking sessions, I came to dissect the term "hopeless romantic". I just can't understand how such an optimistic word (romantic) can be associated with such negativity (hopeless). dba??prang bigla akong naguluhan.

 

at dahil jan, I hereby proclaim myself a hopeful romantic.

 

why? because the day that I would start to think any of these things..

• Wall-e is just a robot
• Serendipity is full of coincidental bull
• The notebook can't happen in real life
• Luke and Lorelai are not perfect for each other
• Overjoyed is just another love song
• Vince O. Teves is gay for writing Vince's life 
• Meg Cabot book endings are stupid and too far off
• Renewal of vows is just a waste of time and money
• The proposal in Runaway Bride is too cheezy
• Casablanca is just a black and white movie

..would probably mean that I am on the verge of starting to collect cats and is planning to take a bath just every other day. or maybe it would mean I finally grew up. It could only be one or the other. Who knows right? All I know is, until that day comes (if ever it comes), you can't take the hope from this romantic :)

 

yes i am wearing rose-tinted heart-shaped glasses,

living inside a bubble in the lalaland.

please don't pop it.
