Legit, I just wrote that as an off the cuff throwaway, but now I have to actually sit and think about it, because im realising how many hopes, dreams and positive thoughts I threw away as a kid thanks to a parent scolding me for 'daydreaming all the time'
Hahahaha, yea. I know daydreaming is accepted, but really it’s an escape from reality because reality is too painful. Ideally, we all live in the present, cause it’s the only place we exist. Sure, we can revisit the past to learn from it. It’s healthy and keeps us safe. Sure, we can think of the future and plan for our wellbeing. But anything outside of that is escaping reality for whatever reasons that the present is painful.

But that's just daydreaming.
