i like to day dream. i like to dive into a good book. i like to dwell in fairy tales. i have issues living in reality. id rather live in my fantasy world than face the truth.
because sometimes the truth is too much. too ugly to bear. sometimes its the loss of a loved one way before their time. or that other loved ones have to grow up without their mother because cancer snatched her from their grips.
life is hard. its painful. it hurts. it hurts to love. and to be loved. it hurts to offer your heart in any form and have it rejected. or maybe just dragged away.
so id rather escape to some fantasy where there is a happy ending. in this life. i know i have paradise coming... but thats a long way off. and there is a lot of hurt on the journey.
bunyan got it right...the journey to paradise. its not fun..its darn right terrifying.
