"They offered them the world, but they had a world of their own."

I am a hopeless romantic for traveling and adventure. You can always find a perfect place, but I don't think you can ever really find a perfect person (which is not a bad thing, but a very normal thing).

There's more to being a hopeless romantic than just having a hope for a lusty feeling with another human being. I think I am a hopeless romantic in a much greater sense than just hoping to find a significant other. I am a hopeless romantic to find new places. New beautiful places and new ideas that I never thought of prior to my knowledge of them. The moment I fell in love with people and places I've traveled to, I fell even more deeply in love with the places I've never been to and the people that I haven't met yet. Yes, I am a hopeless romantic for beautiful things, not just beautiful people.

There are some things that are so beautiful that they actually torture me. Reading in empty libraries. Swimming in a body of water when it's raining. Bars after two AM. Watching stars in the back of a pick-up truck. It's beautiful to want to go places, meet people, and watch your mind grow.

Sit on a bench or go to a coffee shop, sit where they have the countertops facing the streets. Watch people who are running to catch their train. Watch the couples too in love to care and the lonely men and women admiring them from a far. You're going to see it. You're going to see a little piece of yourself in every single one of those people. You'll suddenly become content with sitting alone in that coffee shop.

I think once we start hoping to find love in places, we will fall in love with each other. There is such thing as 'right people, wrong time', but sometimes we need to let people fall in love with places, and fall in love with themselves before they find love in other people.

I am not a hopeless romantic for love. I think it's foolish to expect too much out of other people. I don't know why we spend so much time looking for perfect people when we can find safe haven in simple things such as trips to the beach at sunset or something bolder like traveling to different countries and learning cultures and traditions. This idea is deep and I get that some people might think it's dumb, but if we give more thought to other people's lives and not just our own we might just become a little more educated

If people traveled to different countries or places yearly, I bet they’d live a lot differently. When you look into different lives, you realize there are more important things than what people do all day.
