Being a hopeless romantic is not a weakness.
Okay maybe I am trying to hide the fact that sometimes I just want to curl up into a ball and watch a romance movie that will make me cry, crave love, and reevaluate my entire life.
Yes, definitely.

The best form of self care for me is to do just that. Especially on Valentine’s Day.

1. The Notebook
- No one can argue that this is THE movie for hopeless romantics. In a world of Allie’s, be a Noah. Or maybe don’t; it’s up to you! There truly is no higher level of commitment. He fought and fought and never ever gave up in the process of showing the love he had for Allie. You can feel the yearning coming through the screen; that’s how you know it’s a good romance movie.Â
2. Notting Hill
- Notting Hill is a staple in my deep, hopeless romantic rewatch collection. It is so refreshing to watch their story of love. The type of movie you catch yourself smiling at. The sweet humor and unrealistic childhood dream of mine to also fall in love with a celebrity is what draws me in every single time.Â
3. Pride and Prejudice
- What is there even to say about this movie other than YES?! I truly cannot formulate my thoughts on how amazing it is. Jane Austen has hopeless romanticism written all over her. The independence, the drama, the body language, every single aspect of it is perfect. Â

Honorable Mention: Brokeback Mountain
- Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. This movie hurts so good. The post Brokeback Mountain cry heals. Â
