Favourite book:
Cogwheels (Akutagawa)
Favourite thing to do:
reading, writing, living in my imagination
Hi! I read one of your little pages filled with thoughts (commonly known as diary, yes), and I just wanted to tell you that no, you are not the only one that loves to live in their imagination. It happens to me too, all the time. I spent my whole life playing roles in my imaginary castle, in multiple imaginary places at the same time. perhaps that's because I was always in love with a side of reality athat doesn't really exist. I always love magic and discovering that the world is not full of it made me regress in my fantasy even more. Even though I'm not a child anymore, I still live more in my fantasy. I space out a lot, even when I'm with friends and family. I always have somewhere else to go. It helps me go through life. You are not alone, I just wanted to tell you this <3

Thank you for sharing this with me <3
Isn't it such a bummer that life is so boring? I mean the world has some magic of course (nature especially) but I don't know, reality is too often very underwhelming in my opinion. "I was always in love with a side of reality that doesn't really exist" I relate to that a lot. And "in love" is a very good choice of words. I think as a kid it was easier because being in the clouds was more accepted, and other kids played along. It was easier to merge reality with my vision of the world. Now yeah... I'm bored (and also a bit sad, cause oof, most people are having a terrible time). The other day I zoned out in the middle of a conversation, nothing I could do about it. It was kind of a first for me. I never disconnected this fast, this far, but I was in the garden's of a medieval castle, so it wasn't my fault (maybe). I guess the disappointment is the downside of being able to dream up wonderful things.
