Still - I, like you, just can't seem to see things any other way. Ideals are there for a reason, so ignoring them by settling for whatevers the least painful seems to me sort of like betraying your own heart and dreams, ya know? Keep livign by your ideals, mom. It makes you a refreshing voice in the slurry of everyday yuckiness.Sketchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412957363196241563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25499814.post-24744789589299189372007-02-09T22:06:00.000-08:002007-02-09T22:06:00.000-08:00There are plenty of idealistic witches out there. ...There are plenty of idealistic witches out there.

My idealism has never left me, and yes, like yours it has been tempered by pragmatism. I still believe there are much better ways to live than how we do it now.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.com
