<p>We have all fallen into an emotional attachment to our daydreams/fantasies, whatever you might call them. If you think about it, they are similar to relationships. You have a deep love for these dreams like they were your significant other. But sometimes, these relationships can be bad for you. Like a significant other, they can be loving and inviting at first, but sometimes they can turn abusive.

<p>We have all fallen into an emotional attachment to our daydreams/fantasies, whatever you might call them. If you think about it, they are similar to relationships. You have a deep love for these dreams like they were your significant other. But sometimes, these relationships can be bad for you. Like a significant other, they can be loving and inviting at first, but sometimes they can turn abusive. You fall into the illusion that you NEED this significant other, no matter how much it drags you down, and even though you get the idea that this isn't what you need, you don't want to leave. It's like a trap with an open door.</p>
<p>We just don't know how to walk out. But you don't NEED this significant other. You deserve better. Your daydreams are abusing you by luring you back into your fantasy world, when really, you just want to stop and focus on reality and what REALLY matters. And the secret, is closure.</p>
<p>You're probably wondering, but how do I get closure? Closure is this: when you and your significant other break up. You talk about it, and tell each other why. The opposite of closure is your significant other breaking it off with you and not telling you why, and you're left for a really long time thinking about why he/she broke up with you.</p>
<p>So in summary, even though you may not WANT to, but you know that you need to end your constant daydreaming because it is messing up your reality. One way to do it is to write yourself a Dear John letter to your daydreams. Explain why you are leaving them, and that they are just not giving you the freedom to enjoy life the way it is, and that they are never going to get you anywhere. Say that you'd rather be appreciating and spending your waking hours with your REAL family and friends, and everything else that really matters to you that you are taking for granted.</p>
