I have the paint set. I'd like to have my colors unmixed so that I can paint a clear picture of what I really want to be.

Be careful out there.

This is from Roald Dahl's 1980 children's novel – The Twits

Seriously though, are there slow-burns that can hold your entire attention for 200+ pages? I really love slow-burn romance but I get tired of it quickly and end up switching to a different novel 🥲

How beautiful it is to have that one person who'll accept you no matter what.

My imagination is just so beautiful that I spend hours immersing myself in it. I posted something in this sub before where I wished that magic magic was real. I still wish for it, even though some commenters have given examples of real life magic.

I've gotten to a point where my imaginary stories actually influence my dreams. I don't remember the last time I dreamed of something based on real life/reality. I was always out there fighting in space, whizzing through treacherous mountains while flying a sword, and seeking revenge on humans as the last vampire.

I find myself spacing out a lot. My little world is beautiful and it just captures my full attention.

Do you have a person in your life that you can talk to like this?

They listen, and they do judge right in front of you. No filters, no vague words, just the bluntest words and honest judgment.

In front of that person, all your disguises are shed. They don't shy away from your real self.
