if im reading about the genocide in darfur, or the post- cyclone response in Myanmar, id imagine i am in one of those aid groups, or than im a united nations peace- keepers, or an ambassador for UNICEF traveling to the poorest places on Earth helping malnourished children or i am part of a commitee to help reassure women's rights around the world, and id go to Saudi Arabia or Qatar, or India, or Pakistan, Afghanistan, or China, or Korea....why do i dream so much? lol
mira, i just realized that writers are the biggest daydreamers, otherwise, how would they come up with such great stories?? i think magda is a huge daydreamer or where would she findthe time to create lottie and lionel. and we are daydreamers because we long these things, whatever we are missing in reality or whatever we are wishing, we make it happen in our minds. whether we are sitting on the bus, or waiting on line to buy food, we are daydreaming, keeping that beautiful fantasy alive, the one impossible to achieve in our present lives. the one where we are the person we want to be, and the one who dares to do what wed never do.
