Today, I'm an Idealist.

Song of the Day: Get It Right, Glee Edition

I want to be back in London, where my only problem was the exchange rate.

I'm not someone who typically feels bad for myself, but today I do and I'm trying to be ok with that. Have you ever wanted something to work out so bad you'll do anything for it? And before you know it, you're in over your head and don't know whether you're doing something for the right reasons or just because you think it's what you want? Where is the line between compromising and giving too much without enough in return? I'm a fighter. I will fight for something, even if I would be better off cutting my loses. I don't lose. I push through the hard stuff. Whether it be my friends, my significant other, my family, or any one else I want them to put just as much in as I do. It's how it works. Life isn't fair, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be.

People with dreams should have the resources to achieve them. Being yourself should always get you more than acting like you're someone else. And love should always be enough. Always. But these things don't always happen. Actually, they usually don't and I'm not ok with that. It flat out sucks. I want to just scream and cry about this injustice today.

Am I naive? Yes. Am I unwilling to accept that this is just the way life is? Yes. I want more. People deserve more. Today, I'm going to be an idealist instead of my realistic self. A utopian world is impossible, but does that mean we should just settle? No. We should get it as close as possible. It's not easy. But if life isn't meant to be fair then it sure as hell isn't meant to be easy. I'd rather accept the latter wouldn't you?

So here is to the dreamers who are broke and beaten down. Here's to those who are themselves when people would like them better for being someone else. And here's to those fighting for relationships that other people say won't work because love isn't enough. I salute you all for going against the grain. And today, I'm right there with you.
