Balancing Daydreaming

[Tatyana]

Hey you guys! I'm new here! I'm Tatyana. 16, church girl, the responsible one, and the one who gets astounding grades. I've been daydreaming since I was 10 basically. I have been lurking around this site for months, and I finally got the courage to make an account. 

I see so many of your guys' experiences and I can relate to some, but I feel like I can still, in a way, juggle daydreaming. School wise, I'm very attentive, I turn all my assignments in on time, I get pretty great grades, and I do cram some studying in there. Social wise, I'm pretty decent. I'm really shy and kind of to myself, but something just tells me that isn't because of my daydreaming, but it's because of my personality.

I stopped daydreaming about three months ago. Not cold turkey, but I've stopped pretty drastically. I stopped because even though I've achieved so much so far, I feel as if there is still more in life to explore social wise, academic wise, and spritually wise also. I mainly stopped because I wanted to strengthen my relationship with God and I felt daydreaming was kind of getting in a way of that.

Well, it hasnt been easy. I got urges and cravings to daydream every once in a while, but it wasnt too bad. But today, it's just too hard. I want to go back. I just don't know whats stopping me. Should I jump back into daydreaming? Everytime I come here I always get deterred to because I see how some have it so much worse than me, and Iget scared that I will get sucked into daydreaming hardcore again and never be able to get out, but then I deny everything and make myself believe that if I jump in this time, that I will be able to balance things more. 

I feel hopeless sometimes. Are there any people out there like me that  can still focus and get good grades and still daydream? Is that even possible? I feel like if I keep going on this pedestal, school, family, and God won't matter anymore, daydreaming will. Smh

I'm not religious at all, and normally don't understand how people can believe in God and stuff (Please, please, no-one start a big debate) But I think it's good that you can believe in Him, and try and focus more on him than Daydreaming, at least sometimes, to help you reduce it, at least.
