Send Me Your Daydreaming Playlists If You Have Any - Tumblr Posts

i think daydreaming is a fundamental piece of me.

I think it’s been built in from the very start. As a young girl I recall dressing as hermione on primary school casual clothes day… or spending hours finding the right desktop background.

I remember dancing in a costume along with barbie… or drawing my favourite characters and naming my stuffed animals after them. And when I was young I was so in awe of the movie shark boy and lava girl (when this movie was new), that I’d go outside to my swing-set, and swing for hours with the late afternoon sun burning through my eyelids… and I’d daydream that on the other side of them it was the glow from lava girl’s world.

Forever I’ve inserted myself into the worlds of the fiction I love. And now as an adult, I still do this. Every day I’ve got a playlist on picturing myself in other worlds and times and as someone different.

And this makes me wonder.

I love daydreaming. It’s my happy place and I miss dreaming of things I’m not fixated on anymore. But why am I always trying to be somewhere else? Why am I always trying to be someone else? I’ve had years to be happy with who I am and what I’ve got, but does me still being a daydreamer undermine this?

I haven’t got an answer to any of these questions. But I think I’ll always in some way be a daydreamer…
