The Tendency to Dream
I have always been an avid reader. From my earliest memories I have taken almost anything that I could get my hands on and read it cover to cover. I believe that this habit produced in me a healthy imagination that has lived on to this day. Even now I can blink back reality and go where I want to or perhaps transform reality into what I want to. Even the mundane of life’s quirks can fascinate me as I can mentally produce the background behind why it is so. (It also helps that I find most of life to be more than slightly humorous.)
It seems at times to be a strange contradiction within me, though, to have this imaginative spark, this creative drive, but to also have this practical sense that follows me around.
I continually amaze myself. (Just goes to show how easily amused I really am.) It seems that whenever I set back and get introspective I come away realizing how contradictory I really am. And for someone who tries to make sense out of everything it can be frustrating. In the words of Uncle Hub from “Secondhand Lions” (which I saw for the second time tonight and would recommend to anyone) “There are just some things that you have to believe in whether they are true or not.”
And strangely enough I believe in myself. I believe that there is something there for me and only me…
Thanks for riding on this introspective post. I hope that you will come back and see us sometime soon.
