I have a childish dream of loyalty, purity, and faith.
I want the world to be a good place.
I dream of a time where trust is not misplaced.
I wish I were a fairy tale.
And I will fight for every tiny infinitesimal ground I can get towards my ideal.

Here's what I think--if every idealist gave way to the admonitions and advice of those with more worldly experience, nothing would ever change. Every paradigm shift, every positive change, every major cultural revolution has happened because of people who were "too idealistic". Realists are all well and good, and sometimes they're genuinely needed, because sometimes idealists get a little too wonky for their own good--but if every "what if", "maybe", and "why not" was smothered because it was too idealistic, nothing would ever change. And clearly there has been change in the world (hello history book!). That's hopeful, isn't it?
It is hopeful. But fighting against the "natural order" makes you so tired. And seems so pointless sometimes.
Better to be tired and feel just than refreshed and dirty, I guess.
