I grew up being told that I couldn’t spend my life living in another world. That I was too much of a dreamer, that I was out of touch with ‘reality’ and needed to ‘come back down to earth’, that there was something wrong with me for rejecting the world around me and wanting to escape. I was scolded for my innate desire to create and escape to another world inside my own head and in the spaces around me. I was never given a chance to explore this profound ability with curiosity rather than shame. Well, all of those people were wrong. We can all dream and imagine the world we want to live in, and if we believe in it strongly and fiercely enough, every small action we take will be another step in making that dream become our reality.
