The cynic finds love with the idealist. The rebel with the conformist. The social butterfly with the bookworm. They help each other balance their lives.

Only the broken-hearted idealist can become a cynic.

Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.

I wasn't a social butterfly at all.

An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous

a bit of a social butterfly.
