sense of reality [coming soon]

We have a tendency to try to cope with our realities by creating alternative versions and scenerios-sometimes different worlds. Without these daydreams, we would have no hope. Fantasies provide us with a desperetly needed escape from reality; they keep us sane and full of hope. We need to dream in order to have hope things will get better. We need to dream so we can plan what is instore for us. Without dreaming we would be millions of cyncical, screwed-up, sinister people on a giant rock floating in an endless space.

However much our dreams help us, they can also destroy us. Our dreams not only give us hope but piles of disappointments. We all need a bit of cynicism in our lives; where would we be without being just a little distrustful of human nature? Sure, in the long run our fantasies will have more positive effects on us than expected, but there is something we all need that our dreams cant give us. It has been said that our dreams allow us to escape from relaity, but what they dont provide us is a sense of reality.

Escaping from reality is sometimes what we all need, nonetheless we all need to at least be able to appreciate and acknowlege that our reality is real and will shape us into who we need to be.

This isn't a story about falling in love. This isn't a story of a girl who falls in love with a boy and then all of her problems magically disappear. This is a story of a girl who has to learn how to take hold of her reality.

This is her story.
