Escaping Dreamland (the day after...)

I escaped! 

But is this really the end of the journey? The end of the fight? 

No, it isn't. Because being able to control it doesn't mean you can easily adapt to the new lifestyle-the one called "real life". Let's face it, the imaginary world is the place we know well, the place that's most comfortable and easy for us to be. But we know we can have more than that, right guys? :D

By escaping I have gained the ability to stay freely in the real world, for as long as I like, without the withdrawal symptoms of the past. All because of finding my personal "dreamland keys" (which are to accept my need for companionship, to work on my social safety, and to remain curious about everything). However, I still feel lost regarding the new way of life. I usually choose to stay alone in my house-although now I mostly work/study instead of DDing. Going real full-time isn't something I'm used to, or comfortable with. I often compare my new situation to the comfort of the imaginary, although I don't really know what full-real life feels like (yet).

So, now what? What do we do? How do we make our first steps into properly inhabiting reality?

My personal deduction is that, quite simply, we need to start interacting more with what is real. Interaction is what bonds us with our surroundings, real or not. It stimulates our mind and gives us more motivition to stay focused on things-either in order to have fun, or in order to win over hardships. And I am talking about small steps, we don't have to run for presidents from the first day! 

For example, I've always had interaction difficulties (speech, body language, socializing, observation e.t.c.) So now I know that I have to give this fight in order to establish my (real-life) presence. And, honestly, I should have done this years ago! I have visited a speech therapist for my speech, joined a theatrical team for my body language, and already made some good progress with both. It is hard, I get no much praise either since I am not exactly a talent. But I know I won't stop since I make it, and being decisive like this has never failed me in bringing awesome results! The resolve of not giving up until you become the person you want, can be a great power. We may not enjoy everything we experience, but without experience we cannot be strong enough to chase our dreams. 

No matter how strange or hard it may be for me, I know one thing for sure: 

I already feel better!

Well, so long till next time. Keep fighting for a place in the real world! Roar!!!
