You are a Romantic Realist
Okay, so you fall in the middle.
You know that love isn't like a greeting card...
Yet you can always find a greeting card to describe your feelings.
You are the best of both worlds
Girly yet independent, dreamy yet serious.
Almost any guy can find balance with you.
Are You a Romantic or Realistic? Okay, like, I already know that it's a thing for girls, but it can work just as well if you replace 'guy' with 'girl' and the other way around. Besides, this thing came surprisingly close to what I think I'm actually like. I mean, yeah, love is more than just a greeting card, but sometimes words are all we have, you know? People get paid to write those cards, and it's the thought that counts, so why not use a card to describe your feelings every once in a while? Like, I've been told a couple of times that I have a way with words, but it's hard to get the point across sometimes when you're trying to express yourself that way.
I guess this is why I listen to the music that I do. What's the point in trying to be deep and mysterious, making people read between the lines if they want to know the greater meaning behind the immediately obvious point of your lyrics when you can come right out and say, "This is how I feel, or, this is how I felt one day after eating some really good Taco Bell" or whatever, you know? I like it that some people aren't afraid to put everything out in the open instead of hiding behind a wall of allusions and metaphors.
This is why I never did well in English class. What's the point of going through a story or a poem, line for line, word for word, trying to discover some greater truth to the words? If these authors are trying to tell us something, why can't they just come right out and say it? Like this, for example:
April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
Okay there, Dr. Phil. How the hell is it possible for something like this to become so famous? It doesn't even make sense!
I guess what I'm really trying to say is that people shouldn't always be so afraid to hide their feelings. A lot of girls have this problem, which is why it's so hard for me to find one that I can really connect with. Like, I was seeing this one girl for a while, and I just knew that we had this connection, you know? It was like we were meant to find each other and be together. So I tell her this, and she freaks out! She starts saying things like, "Who the hell are you?" and, "How did you get in here?" She wouldn't even give me time to explain. She just kept screaming at me, saying something about calling the cops. I mean, what kind of person has their soul mate arrested?
Anyways. It obviously wasn’t going to work out, especially when she keeps acting like an uptight bitch, so I’ve moved on. I’m pretty good looking, so I always have girls coming up to me whenever I go out at night, but all they want to do is dry-hump my leg and have me buy them drinks. Okay, so it’s fine that all some people want to do is get drunk and screw, but I’m not really interested in that. I don’t want to have a casual fling with a new girl like, every week. I want to meet someone who I can connect with, you know?. Someone who I can depend on. Someone who will be there to listen when I need talk about my feelings and stuff.
I guess that’s all for now. Writing all of this down and sharing it with everyone has made me feel a lot better. It’s a nice day out, so I think I’m going to go out, sit under a tree, and write poetry for the rest of the afternoon. Maybe I’ll share some of it one day.
