I Am a Romantic
I watched "Jane Eyre" today and could not stop crying. I was thinking how much I wanted to be her, how much I would want someone I'm in love with to look at me like he looked at her - and the very last lines, when he says "It's a dream," and she answers "Then don't awaken it"...
I was thinking how much I wanted to believe that romantic love is true, that we are indeed supposed to follow our heart and give in to our feelings, no matter how impractical and insensible it may be, that we do have soulmates. And how striking is the contrast between that magical, bewitching world of love and feelings and our mundane reality.
