i think once you construct a vision or a version of what you want, you start to hold out for it, and in the process, losing out on something in front of you. sometimes it's good to take stock of real life situations, situations where you feel comfortable and connected, as opposed to trying to convince yourself that there is someone out there specifically made to order for you.



an idealist is someone who has ideals? a romantic is a type of idealist? as in someone whose ideal is this great perfect guy/girl who fits into that ideal mold? i think everyone is an idealist, who isn't? nobody walks around thinking, "i'll take the first thing that comes my way." being an idealist nowadays is like saying that you're introspective. everybody's introspective, everybody's idealistic. it's a matter of defining those ideals to a certain degree. what exactly are your ideals? down to the detail. find those and make sure those are relevant and not just things you think you want. otherwise you will not only be looking in the rearview mirror but also checking out all the wrong cars too.
