The World Inside My Head

There are times when I wonder what my path would have been in life if I were not blessed with the gift of imagination.  Maybe I would have been an accountant, spending hours punching numbers in a calculator to help someone else with their financial troubles or maybe even a doctor, spending days and nights working to save the lives of nameless people passed out on fluffy white boards that thinly pass for beds.  So many things I could have done with my life, and all of them instantly considered unreachable the moment I discovered my great imagination.

Suddenly, I was drawn into a new world, a world that was anything I wanted it to be, regardless of what was happening around me.  It was a place where things could happen any way I chose, and there was no one to tell me otherwise.  This was my world, my own little sanctuary inside my head where I could go and no one can watch me, a place where I can escape from the horrors going on around me.

Without a doubt, there have always been problems living the way I do.  Living always with my thoughts completely separate from everyone else in the world means that I cannot interact with people as easily as they would like.  I cannot just sit down and strike up an unplanned conversation with anyone anymore.  Every person I know I have invented, everything I see is the product of my unlimited imagination.  Ordinary people simply cannot understand the world I live in.  Conversations, billboards, every piece of writing came out of my head.  I planned this world to be anything I want it to be, including a wall against the outside world.

This world creates a brand new dream, a fantasy like none I have ever lived.  And it feels right, living in this dream, this dream I call my own.  A lover, in its own right, sweeter than anyone I have ever known.  This dream will never leave me, will never go away.  I love it.  It has become who I am.

It is as if you wrote this for me. What a gift it is when that happens!
