My Real Life vs. My "Other" Life

[Ziggy Valentine]

In my real life:

• I live in Tennessee.
• I am 21 years old.
• I work at McDonald's.
• I'm single.
• I have no children.
• I live with my mother.
• I have no friends.
• I have no love life or sex life whatsoever.
• I'm over 200 pounds.
• All I do is eat, sleep, work, get on the internet, and daydream.

In my MAIN other life (I have many):

• I live in London.
• I'm famous.
• My age defers from day to day (whatever period of time I want to visit.
• I am married. (He's famous too.)
• I have kids (three are his, two are mine, and four are ours.)
• I'm a Recording Engineer.
• My mother lives with me.
• I have tons of friends (who are famous too.)
• I have an amazing love life and a great sex life.
• I'm 130 pounds.
• I'm a busy person who has a great life.

And which life would I choose if I could? My "other" life. Because? It's so much better than my real life. And knowing that depresses me to know end. But I can't stop. I love my "other" life so much that I actually have a fear of trying to stop. I want to but...I don't want to. I want my real life to get better before I quit my "other" life.

I really hope this website can help me through this. It's nice to know that other people are dealing with this. This is the first time (besides my close cousin) that I have ever told anyone this (and even when I told him, I didn't give him details. It's scary telling people but at the same time, it feels great. It's great to get this off my chest and let it out there.

Thank you Debbie P. Hopefully I can make most of my daydreams come true. =)

Of course you would obviously choose your DD life.  But the beauty of life is that we can choose and make changes in our reality just as we can in our DDs.  You're very young and now is the perfect time to set your goals so that in 20 or 30 years you don't regret these years and view them as a waste of your life.  In your DD you're a Recording Engineer - well you can actually make that happen IRL.  You can meet friends at college and work on weight loss, if that's what you want which I think that you do.  Only you can make these choices but now have a supportive community to help you.  Best of luck to you....I hope your dreams come true :)
