I heard this quote in a movie recently (the movie isn't important and not relevant in any way) but it kind of struck a chord with me and I wondered what other people think about it:-
"What if we choose to exist purely in a reality of our own making? Does that render us insane? And if it does, isn't that better than a life of despair?"
I do feel that if I didn't have my daydreaming to fall back on when life is hard/stressful/s***/disappointing etc that I would feel in a state of despair. Although it causes me anxiety to know what affect daydreaming has had and is still having on my life, I think I would feel more anxious without it as I would feel I have nothing. As sad as it may sound, there are very few things in life that make me feel the way my daydreams do! (sorry if I've just depressed everyone lol)
