the mishaps of a hopeless romantic is dedicated to those who find themselves dwelling on the pleasurable and tempting idea of a reciprocated and idealistic love, despite having dealt with negative experiences in the past.
striving to find this love with another can unfortunately come with heartbreaks, pain, misery, patience, and longing, which eventually results in becoming unfair to your own self and worth.
hopeless romantics tend to give too much of themselves to someone else as a means to build a home with them, keep the other person happy, and avoid losing them at all costs.
however, with these poems, francesca hopes that hopeless romantics will come to the realization that sparing some love for their own selves and avoiding giving their all to another is the wisest decision they could ever make when it comes to the notion of love, as it saves them from all the heartbreak, pain, and unhealthy tendencies they may encounter when being hopelessly romantic.
