I will always consider myself a daydreamer. From Nintendo games to books to music, I always find myself daydreaming about those fantasy worlds or the world I created in my head. Being a daydreamer was why I wrote a post last week about daydreaming and how it should stop getting such a bad reputation. I agree that as soon as we become adults, we are expected to stop being daydreamers and always need to face reality. Daydreaming must stop being seen as something we do as children, as we ALL daydream, even as adults. There is nothing wrong with that. Even if we do it to escape reality. Reality is stressful, so daydreaming about a faraway place to escape it is okay.
I hope you, me, and the others who resonated with your piece never stop being daydreamers! Daydream on!
Whitney, I think you might be my soulmate. I can see myself in so many of your posts. My imagination has got me through the toughest times - and I truly believe that imagination is one of the most valuable things in life.
I resonate with this very much. I am a big daydreamer too. Listening to music has always been a way of setting up a soundtrack for my internal imaginings and is the key driver to what I ultimately like and don't like musically. Reading is another great enjoyment, but in the last few years I've been too distracted, my mind too preoccupied with everyday stressor, that I have a hard time focusing and dedicating time to it. It's only been very recently that I've consciously decided to ignore social media (for the most part, not absolutely, though I dream of a day of getting to that point) that I've been feeling more focused. I just had a week off of work, mainly to help my daughter transition to a new school, and I've wanted to do rather than losing time scrolling and worrying. If anybody asks what I hope to get out a staycation, that would be it. Anyway, thanks for reading my long-winded reply. Maybe I need to start a Substack of my own to flesh out all these thoughts 😅
I'll Always Be a Daydreamer
I lament on a daily basis about how my value is based on my ability to assimilate into the marketplace planet.
Thank you for this ✌️
So much yes to all of this! Long live daydreaming.
Relatable, 100%.
Also, I daydream to write. All my stories are born during daydreaming.

Always stay a unapologetic daydreamer! 🥰
