Unreal realism





He just realized that reality checks suck the fun out of life. They do not stimulate his creativity. They make an already boring life much more boring. He now needs to decide whether to live a creative but unreal life, or a boring but real life. His mind screams for an unreal life but somehow it doesnt feel right. He's stuck at the crossroad....

... thinking. But there's no real hurry though - he shall take his time.

...and what did you choose? A boring realistic life, or a creative life without reality checks? :)

Oh u must have confused me for the "he" in this entry :P Sources close to him tells he's yet to choose between the two. But he's highly in favour of one of the two.

If u were the one in this entry, what would u choose?

I would choose a creative but unreal life, definitely. I try to live like that but it's difficult, because of the reality checks you write about.

I sometimes wonder if its healthy to live like that, in a made-up unreal world. But it makes me happy :)

I used to be soo sure that I'll choose unreal life. Ive been living in my happy little world all this while. But not anymore, it seems. Im starting to think that I might be happier in real life. Im starting to not believe in fairy tales like Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood. Am i finally growing up? Or perhaps Im just distracted.

Real life might be boring now. But i guess it only means that the onus is upon us to make it more vibrant?

hahaha. I don't know, cairo. I don't know. It's amazing though how certain nice individuals can really mess up minds.
