Just Air and Imagination

Is it harder to love something or someone that doesn't exist?
You can wait for a real object or person (although you may never know when they are going to come). Eventually (hopefully), they will come. At least they exist.
But something half created from imagination, although it can take any form that you desire, still isn't truly real. It can never come unless by a miracle...or can it?
Is reality or fantasy more dangerous?
Seeing as I always tend to take everything in the most complex direction possible, I have to wonder if fantasy is more trecherous.
I guess it's just a good way to escape reality- and hope for the perfect model of your imaginings.
But if you set your hopes too high, even for thin air, do you feel the same amount or a greater amount of loss than you would for anything material?

I want so much to be a part of L.M. Montgomery or even Cornelia Funke's world. They weave such brilliant stories that it makes me want to live in a different time. I have a feeling I think far too much of fantasy. And in a world where there is nothing but reality around you, can you help but live in the past and keep your eyes out the window, spinning your own world with the prince Sonrie and customs from the Civil War era?

Well, I suppose only time will tell if too much fantasy is healthy or not for me.

This vaguely remind me of a book you will soon read, and I will go more in deph in person because I have that Nicki Genius speech...
Anyways, it's called A Separate Peace

Anyways, in the book, Theres four main characters, and well, I'm Gene, and you remind me of Leper

He has his own Separate Peace within nature, like you

I love that about you :D
You always bring nature to life.
You just remind me of flowers, Hibiscuses, your favorite, and how you always bloom.

I personally think reality is better, because fantasy cant let you down.
Reality is where your fantasy is let down, and everything in reality lets you down

Fantasy is your own little world, the escape from reality and the dreams of it

It all branches off reality I think, and I think that imagination is the most beautiful thing in this world.

I mean honestly, if you recall sixth grade and all our imagination wonders of your garden and playing some island game, I mean wasn't that beautiful?
Just the idea that no one can hurt you, that something we can get lost into, makes it so now one can find us

Fantasy is by far the one thing that keeps people living reality...
