Cynical Idealist

I always think people have ulterior motives. I think so much that I come to convince myself I know. I know people are evil. But I don't blame them. I believe everybody was born a clean slate and sometimes those slates just get damaged. They face problems I couldn't possibly understand and so I don't put those people at fault. Instead, I see the beauty in them. I think everybody has something that makes them wonderful. I just gotta discover it if it's not so visible.

So I'm cynical... To an extent.

But I'm also a target of cynicism.
I'm one of the people whose actions cynics think are for the purpose of ulterior motives. And sometimes, they're right. But more often than not, I do things because it's the right thing to do. Because it's the thing I feel should be done. Because I want to inspire people to be their best. I believe in morals. I believe that everybody should be the best person that they can be.

That's something I can proudly say I've never questioned.

Some may say I'm impractical and some may say I'm foolish. I know what they're thinking. Don't get me wrong;  I know there's bad people out there. I simply believe they have the potential to be good. 

Too many fairytales, I know. <3
