The apex moment of a romanticizing phase — when someone's tendency to aestheticize their life reaches its most intense, fully realized expression. Peak romanticizing is often recognized either in the moment (this is exactly the scene I was born to live) or in cringing retrospect (I genuinely described my depression as 'baroque'). It implies a plateau that, by definition, can't be sustained. Used both admiringly and ironically, depending on whether the speaker thinks your aesthetic self-narration is impressive or a lot.
That journal entry where she described waiting for a late bus as 'existing between worlds' was peak romanticizing.
