˚Dayra ˚From Dayratopia, Puerto Rico ˚Personal Blog ˚Hopelessly Romanticistic Romanticism : 1/Characterized by a heightened interest in nature, emphasis on the individual's expression of emotion and imagination, departure from the attitudes and forms of classicism, and rebellion against established social rules and conventions. 2/Romanticism emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the transcendental. 3/Romanticism is a reaction against the materialism of the enlightenment and rejects precepts of order, calm, harmony, balance, idealization, and rationality. I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because “romantic” doesn’t mean “sugary”. It’s dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can’t attain.- Catherine Breillat
