As much as we hate to admit it, most of us are romantics. It conflicts with our idealism, but we can’t help it. Because you know what, petals? Despite the unprecedented weight of the world, the reality of its harshness and its seeming disregard for the inherent loveliness of life, there is so much beauty, still and always. That’s what hurts so much. That’s what upsets our balance.
But we have to fight and fight. We have it in us. We just have to remember that, up there, beyond everything, blue sky remains.
