Welcome to LydiaLand.


Where all of your secret fantasies are safe. No judgement. No oppression.


Step through the threshold from media-driven society to a paradoxical paradise.


I'm a dreamer. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my own world that I can't decipher from what's real and what's fake. Call me crazy, but I prefer creative. Unique, I guess.


You'd probably think that I was that weird child who had an imaginary friend until I was eleven. Well, I wasn't. Here's the thing: fantasies donot have to include dragons and fairies.


Some of us live in a stream of conciousness. We all tell lies and it's up to that person to believe us or not. So, here's when I come in.


I lie. People lie to me. That's just how it is.


This isn't a story about grinning cats, mad hatters, and potions. This isn't a story about pumpkins turning into carriages and ogres finding true love.


It's a mind game. One of which should be played with caution. Feelings will be hurt and people will be exposed.


It's my game and I make the rules. I can't lose at my own game, right? I'm Lydia Hastings. A Hastings never lose.
