Living in a Dream World
Sharing is Caring… Day 6: A Quotation

(♥)
“I’ve consistently tried to create an alternate reality. I’m removed in my real life, and unable to express certain things face to face. So I have always found myself in this fantasy world.”
~ Jenny Lewis
Do you ever feel like you’ve lost yourself? Like bits and pieces of you have one by one slowly washed away with time? You don’t notice or miss those tiny pieces until they form an unmistakable hole where something larger once resided. And even though you realise something significant is missing, you really don’t know what it is or where to even begin to look for it again.
Lately, I’ve been so wrapped up in my own loneliness, that I’ve completely, submerged myself into a false reality. I’ve saturated myself with so many things, and in such large quantities, inevitably treating them like some sort of replacement. I’ve become so gluttonous with what’s around me that I’ve stifled my voice. My will, my thoughts, what I feel, what I like, and what I care about. I need to find that again. I need to cleanse and start anew without these distractions and vices. I need to rummage around inside my head to find who I am again, and listen to what I‘m trying to say.
It’s so easy to become enveloped in a fantasy world. More often than not, there’s where I find myself lingering, passing the time. But there becomes a point when it becomes like a disease. Too much of it becomes toxic to the mind and clouds what we really need.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the final installment of the Sharing is Caring series for Day 7: Whatever Tickles Your Fancy.
