too much love inside me disorder

Every time I do something dramatic or extravagant I think to myself “this is for Lord Byron” or “Oscar Wilde would’ve loved this”. And I think it’s incredible sexy of me to do so. Conversely every time I get tipsy I think “it’s what Dorian Gray would’ve wanted”. Which is less sexy and more a moralistic problem but it’s whatever.
