I am an eternal idealist. I am also getting older so you would think those two things would be battling it out in my heart and soul. Reality is important but sometimes it gives birth to cynicism and darkness. I still think it’s healthy to dream.

One thing that gets me is when there are serious things on Facebook and there happens to be some smiley face that diminishes the importance of it all. I hope I never get to the point where my moody self stops having sympathy, empathy, and the desire to understand.

I hope I can still have that sense of wonder.
