When I was a teen and I had a hard time dealing with the
stresses of life, I would blast my music; sit on my bed and day dream stories
in my head of epic romances, sure to knock any woman off her feet. I would spend hours imagine what the perfect
guys would say, do and even look like while trying to imagine what it would be
like to be kissed by a hero’s lips. Today, I realized I don’t daydream any
more. My only guess as to why is most
all the big decisions in life have already been made. Now life is always full of the unknown, but
what is left to romanticize? Old age, retirement? I have a husband who like everything else in
my life is very real, meaning he is now imagined hero who says and does all the
right things. I know longer imagine a
cooing baby and what it would feel like to hold my child in my arms as I am granted
the reality of that blessing every day, along with the screaming tantrums. I don’t want to sound ungrateful for what I
have because that is not at all what I am saying, instead, what is left to
dream about? Sure I have goals, but they
are too intertwined in my reality to be something I can continually wish, a parable
of the illusive enticing fruit. Does
anyone else still day dream, and if so what about. I am not talking about longing for the quite
day or a hot bath, but what place inside your head do you go to escape some of the
harshness of reality? Or is it even
possible to do on our own anymore that we have become complacent and reliant on
books and movies due to our age? Can’t
wait to hear your thoughts!
i've honestly never been a daydreamer. i just have hopes that my days and years will fill the 'big life dream' so to speak. and, yes, i depend on a good movie every now and again to 'escape' for an hour or so. :) i hope you are feeling well today!
