Titled

Some people have been questioning my blog's title. And to be honest, it's hard to give you a straight answer.

I suppose "star-crossed" is a throw-back to my love for Shakespeare and his beloved Romeo and Juliet... Its inherent meaning in 'doomed' or 'being marked by bad luck' (as best as merriam-webster could put it). ...And then of course, there's idealism.

Only as an adult have I come to identify myself as an idealist. Now, don't mistake that for an optimist... The glass is certainly not half full.

What I'm saying is that I believe the loose ends will eventually find their own ways... That though things go astray and maybe they don't even g0 'right'... It means they are simply not right in your own mind. There's always a bigger cause. And a bigger rational.

I have just found in my life, that despite my disappointments, my idealism always seems to bounce back. Despite those that cross me, my outlook for humanity and the greater good is there and never forsakes me.

My child-like hope and my obdurate sensibilities, though they might be some of my biggest faults, are still some of my favorite attributes. And ones that I plan to never let go of. For better or for worse.

...Star-crossed or not.
