i don’t think many people realise that “romanticism” has nothing to do with “love”, alone. “romanticism” is literally what keeps so many of us alive. the bright orange rays of the sun when it rises, the rustling of leaves as you walk alone on a windy day or a simple thought of how everyone is the main character in their own lives as you look out of the car window. it’s all about glorifying little acts of everything that exists. looking at the world in a vivid manner or celebrating the exoticism of solitude and the aestheticism of every possible thing in the world. celebrating art and realising that everything you do or see is a part of the history being made. emphasising on every emotion to understand the beauty of it, be it love or sadness. there’s so much going wrong but being a romantic helps you look at the world in the most beautiful way.

i can't vibe with anyone who thinks icarus was an ignorant idiot for flying too close to the sun. "oh i'd never do that i would have remembered my father's warning and been fine". do you seriously think that after years of imprisonment, feeling the sun on your face and the open air beneath your wings, you would be able to focus on anything but the joy of being alive and free? do you actually think that if you were given the opportunity to go where nobody has never been before, you wouldn't want to push it to the limit? to dare to be the first to try what no one else has ever even thought possible? do you honestly think you're too good for your own human nature? look me in the eyes and tell me if i strapped a pair of wings to your back that could take you wherever you wanted to go whenever you pleased that you'd be careful and sensible about it. you are not better than icarus just because you have the benefit of his example.

ISFP: Do you want a burger? I made it. It has extra pickles.
INFP: Of course!
ENFP, whispers: Don’t eat that, you’re allergic to pickles!
INFP: Shh. I don’t care. Just call an ambulance after.
Anyway unpopular opinion probably but the school system (and general book snobbery) fucks up by trying to force kids to read "classics" before they have the mental and emotional development to appreciate them.
This post is me telling you to consider revisiting that classic book you read in the 7th grade that you hated because the ability to understand a lot of literature gets unlocked later, for reasons a lot to do with emotional maturity
