Reality

What’s a girl to do about reality? You know, the difference between fantasy and what’s real, what’s actual. It’s hard to face reality when it can be cold and brutal. Yet who dictates what’s real to what’s fictional? I believe people have the distinct ability to create their own reality. TV has their own interpretation of reality, we are lured to take a glimpse into the so-called lives of people who are put into absolutely ludicrous situations. No one has the opportunity to have 20 bachelors vying for their love and affection. The point is your reality is what you create, what you believe to exist. Everyone says that I live in a fantasy world that is tailored to my every whim and desire. Yet who are they to tell me I can’t live my life the way I want to? My life just happens conform to my dreams and expectations because I believe with all my heart that I can get whatever I want, and you can too. You attract what you want to have. We are of the school of “ don’t get your hopes up”. Everytime something extraordinary happens there is someone right behind us holding up yellow caution tape, enclosing our happiness in a square, and telling us we aren’t allowed to pass because something horrible might happen. Yet we must learn how to tactfully rip the caution tape and walk right into the scene of the crime, or the scene of absolute perfection. I think the reason we are so afraid of wanting it all, is because it seems like such impossibility, such a fairy tale, so unrealistic. It’s only unrealistic if you believe it is. Make your life a bubble, that is impossible to burst.
