Are you a Romantic? š
The Romantic era was an artistic and intellectual movement that originated in Europe towards the end of the 18th century.
It advocated for the importance of subjectivity, imagination, and appreciation of nature in society and culture in response to the Age of Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. They argued that passion and intuition were crucial to understanding the world, and that beauty is more than merely an affair of form, but rather something that evokes a strong emotional response. With this philosophical foundation, the Romanticists elevated among other things a reverence for nature and the supernatural.
(Can you tell I was an Art History major?!)
I think in this anxious, information overloaded, chaotic, ridiculous world we live in - a little Romanticism might do you good.
