Idea #8: Your Realism is getting in the way of my Romanticism

I would like my life to be 70% Romanticism and 30% Realism. The 30% Realism is the needed realism that lets me take care of myself and my responsibilities in life such as an education and steady income. The 70% Romanticism is the joy out of life. Romanticism is needed to be happy and think positively. Realism is too sad to be the only thing we think about in life. I think as long as you have enough Realism to take care of yourself and your family and loved ones. You should then have the rest of your life be Romanticism because having a Romantic attitude makes life fun. You can’t be serious all the time, it’s good to joke around about things even if the thing you’re joking about is actually a serious issue. We can’t sit down and worry about all of the bad things going on at once because there are too many and if we worried about them all the time, we would never have any time to ourselves to enjoy life or smile or be happy for ourselves.
