Being imaginative and daydreaming equals being disconnected from reality you say?
I do not believe that is the case. Being creative, someone dreaming of being part of a continent far more remote than any other planet is as, if not more, connected to the reality than any other down to earth person.
They can build a dystopia, out of their own struggles. They can build an utopia, out of the righteousness of some human beings.
Being creative is a form of enjoying everything the world can offer. Grasping your surrounding, twisting it over to make an other planet, world or even solar system worth exploring, is an other way to see life.
Being lost in your fantasy is harmful, but letting your own mind run free once in a while can be hopefully. There is nothing wrong with being a little "childish" as some might say. It is just a synonym of "fun".
Let's be a little imaginative and express the world as we see it, in the most extraordinarily close to reality, the most simplest and cryptic way of using your mind to tell your own story.
I think that is the funniest way of telling your own adventures. We are all Travellers, walking through the path that is time. We cannot go back, or rewrite the past. But, at the end, what will remain is a stack of books with all our life written on it. They are worth to be remembered as they are. But why not adding some spice to them?
This little book you are about to read is just one of my way to add that spice in my thoughts. Enjoy your travel, reader !
