I am a spoiled brat.

For too long have I lived in the world of my own, without realizing what is surrounding me: reality. In that world of mine, I had everything planned the way I intended them to be, thinking it must be how life should be. In fact, I did not fully comprehend the cost it took to build this dream life of mine because on the other side of the wall, resides an entire different story.

I have always thought I learned to appreciate life and the life of others who are less fortunate than me, only because it was not a story of my own, merely another chapter that bypasses. When it starts to look like a tale of my book, however, I find myself absorbed into the pessimism of life without noticing it.

To dream is good,
to fantasize, is to be a fool.
