Romaticism

What’s your definition of romantic?

There was an art and literary movement in the early 1800 that called itself Romaticism. I like it’s definition. Born out of a rejection to industrialism it went on to influence art and literature all the way until now.

Imagination, emotion and connection to nature were the key emphasis. I love these.

I kind of romaticize everything, I can’t help it. I like conversational details because my brain is always making up backstory. Everyone’s life is like a motion picture playing out at the same time. Like double plots in novels. I add extra color, dramatic music, trees, flowers, wind, stars, sparkling water, sunshine, rain…

In other words, romance doesn’t only have to do with candles and flowers and love poems to me. It’s life, it’s drama, it’s beauty, it’s fun! Well that’s how I see it anyway.
