I read this inspiring paragraph today by Michael Shurtleff from his book, Audition-
"a dream of romance is what no human being can live without; an excess of reality is what is wrong with our current world. Reality kills. We can't live for reality (if we did, most of us could not bear to stay alive for very long) but for that dream of what we hope will happen: love from someone splendid, success, glory, honor, and applause. Romance is the dream of something better happening to us."
So, I don't really mind when people say, "Oh, Shreya, you're such a hopeless romantic."
In fact, I'm a hopeful romantic- I dream of all of the above- love from that someone splendid, glory, honor, and applause.
