Fantasy Life

When I was a little girl, I had a very rich fantasy life. I think I was kind of unhappy and bored, so I filled the time with imaginary friends and fun adventures. Sometimes I got so involved that I would worry that I wasn't going to be able to live a normal life. Other kids seemed so happy with normal things, but I never was and always had to make things up to make it more interesting.

Even now as an adult, if I get bored or I have to do something I don't feel like doing, my mind immediately begins to wander and comes up with a story to entertain me. lol. How considerate of it. Most of the stories I dream up are sort of embarrassing and I'd never be caught dead admitting to them. But I keep dreaming them because otherwise I might pass out from low blood pressure because I get so bored.

When I was a teenager I used to think this was a sign that maybe I had some sort of mental illness that I couldn't live life like other people, like maybe I have ADD or something. As an adult, I don't think so. I just think it's a sign that I'm very creative and happen to get bored easily because I absorb information quickly and move on. In fact, my whole life is built around what doesn't bore me, including my husband, dogs, and reading. Ha ha. If it bores me, it's out of my life, never to be seen again by me. :-)

Unless it involves paying the bills. Unfortunately I never seem to be able to get away from that one...
