I am in a funk lately.

Astrobarry explains it all:

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the cushiony prison of our own minds, many of our most cherished goals and dreams can sound quite silly, not to mention ridiculously unrealistic. And I'm sure this last piece—'realism' and whatever we may (falsely) assume falls into that category—is an especially relevant consideration for you, Taurus, being the ultra-super-grounded pragmatist that you are. But there's nothing particularly 'realistic' about taking the too-almighty-and powerful position of deciding in advance, totally enclosed within your own self-referencing frame, what likely will or will not happen out in our wide wondrous world. If anything, it's a bit self-aggrandizing, don't you think? Reality, after all, is something we all must mutually agree upon… and maybe, just maybe, what you think couldn't possibly be brought to manifestation might be something somebody else thinks is well within reach. You, however, would never know that, as long as you stay silent about what you want a chance at achieving. If you crave a bigger role in a professional setting or out in the community, the number-one most important step to getting there is to simply be more direct. Explain what you bring to the table, what you may be lacking, and what you hope could happen, given the right collaborations, resources and support. Once others understand where your ambitions lie—and how your advancement would also boost the whole team—they'll gladly bump you up a notch, if it's under their power, or turn you in the right direction however they can. It's only a matter of widening your idea of 'reality'.

This is pretty much exactly my problem right now. I am Very Very Very Based In Reality (oh, you Taurean folks, right?), and this airy-fairy "You can have WHATEVER YOU WANT JUST BY IMAGINING IT, DAMN THE LOGIC!" crap... well, strikes me as crap, y'know? It goes all against "act in accord" as far as I can tell. It makes me go "argh, this makes no sense!"

Call me crazy, but if, say, I want to be a superhero with powers FOR REAL (I don't just mean like, run around in a costume on the Sci-Fi show and pretend that I have a power), going all wacky imagination on that isn't going to make it happen FOR REAL. At the very least, you're gonna need a plan like "Accidentally run into radioactive goo, spontaneously develop powers"... oh, wait, that only worked in Golden Age comics. In real life, you die horribly! Back to the drawing board...

Maybe I am just burnt on that crap because I tend to date people who are RIDICULOUSLY optimistic (one of my exes  claims that if some little girl tried REALLY REALLY HARD ENOUGH and did a LOT of science, she COULD turn herself into a horse. For real), and dealing with that is just irritating after awhile, especially if they are the sort to ignore the oncoming flood waiting for God Himself to scoop you off the roof or whatever.

Yeah, I'm a hippie, but not THAT MUCH of one.
