"Reality is for those who lack Imagination." is something I read on a bumper sticker on a trip to Disneyland about 6 years ago. I know it may sound strange but I do still believe in what that bumper sticker said. I mean if people didn't have imagination where would be the great artist, musicians, and writers be. What would the world be like if we didn't have the Phantom roaming the catwalks of the Paris Opera house, or the mythical land of Middle Earth. Not to mention Twilight *insert barfing noise* wouldn't be as popular as it is if it wasn't based of girls "imagining" that they are Bella Swan (another topic for another blog). I mean half the people who will read or come across this blog will agree with me that sometime living in reality frankly SUCKS! and that we would rather be in our little worlds. Isn't that the main reason why we go to the movies or read books and even music, because they give us a little escape into a different world. I remember when my mom got "fired" and I really wanted to go, before I went to Europe and see "Toy Story 3" and she came along, afterwards I remember coming out of the theatre and her saying "Thank you". I know that forgetting reality even for 2 hours really helped her deal with that fact that she just got "fired" (putting it in qoutes because they ended up hiring her back, Idiots).
Lately I have been in this place where I don't want to deal with reality and just go into an imaginary world. I know that there are somethings in this world that can't be controlled but there are some things that we can. But in a world like ours we have to have balance between the two. I mean we wake up every morning and the world is out there calling to us and saying "Hey reality is out here waiting". But we don't want to we want to go back to our imaginary dream world and continue dreaming about (insert name/ place/ or thing here). But everyday we still get up out of our imaginary dream world and face reality head on. I am not going to lie but sometimes reality fucking hurts (trust me I know) and that is when we just try to go "to our happy place" and try to forget about it. I mean that everything around us someone had to imagine up, think of anything "Star Wars", "Harry Potter", "Phantom of the Opera" (these may be a little too obvious) someone had to think/ imagine about it. Starting to ramble here but this is what this blog is for.
But next time when you have a free thought thinkk about what is better Reality or Imagination, for me I have to play both sides to feel normal, but that is just me.
Your Humble Servant,
Bailey
