uh-oh!!

i think i might be beginning to lose some of that idiosyncratic Idealism and my "childhood's faith."
"I've tried the world, it wears no more, the colouring of Romance it wore."
And like a certain Miss Shirley, i'm immediately comforted by the romance in the IDEA of a world devoid of romance.
yes, i'm incurable and you shan't disillusion me.
