I'm a hopeless romantic. I've read too many books and watched too many movies. I see an old couple on the street holding hands and hope one day I could be as lucky. I spend hours on Pinterest looking at wedding photos. I listen to songs with a love story behind them. So I guess to say I am a hopeless romantic is a bit of an understatement. But isn't romance something that keeps us going? We are always looking for someone to spend time with. Someone to share our lives with. It is almost like it is programmed into us. And I know I am not the only one. All females think like this. Love was all we thought of as kids. We dressed up in dresses, pretended to get married, carried around baby dolls, and played house. The hopeless romantic was what we were raised to be. Frankly I'm okay with that. Because without romance what is life? I'm sure there are way bigger things out there than romance like jobs, schooling, and family. But sometimes I just don't care about that. Tonight is one of those nights. But don't get me wrong when I talk about romance. I do not see romance as love. It is way much more than that. To me, being a romantic is less about words and more about actions. When I think of romance I think of someone who holds open the door for me or wraps their arms around me. Maybe cooking with me. Or taking a walk around town. Someone who holds my hand or jokes with me. Even a piggy back ride or just fooling and goofing around is romantic. While words are always great to hear, I believe that actions speak louder than words. Anyone can say something, but unless they show it, it is just is not the same thing. So I guess I am a hopeless romantic and I am okay with that. And do not be afraid to be a romantic either. You don't have to be hopeless like me. Just be you. It will come naturally. Embrace it, because it is something worth living for. If you do not believe it, just ask the old couples walking down the street. They will tell you it is worth it.
