Risk

I have spoken to you a thousand times in my head, but never in real life. In my mind, it all plays out perfectly. I am just the right amount of funny, and I stop talking at just the right time, but in reality, it never happened. It seems like it will probably say that, and I do not know if I see a problem with that either. What I do see a problem with is that I am continuously thinking to myself as if I have spoken to you. It seems like we often live in this world inside our heads where we don’t really have to do anything, but it all plays out in our imagination as if we have achieved everything in the world.

A lot of people would say that there is nothing wrong with a little imagination and wishful thinking. Yet, it seems to me that if I keep living all the interesting experiences in my imagination, I will never actually have any kind of real-life outcome. That reality would just simply be a way for me to feed my brain a little bit of a source for delusion and then water the delusion plant till it becomes a forest. One that I cannot find my way out of, or can I? What is stopping me from living out my imagination? I mean, I definitely cannot suddenly be six feet four, but what I can do is take some risks.

The first one is probably to talk to you. It is not like you would turn into a monster and eat me like you did in some parts of my imagination, or would you? I guess I can only know that if I try to find out. Another risk I did not know I was ever going to be willing to take. Just like in the stock market, the social market has many risks, but at least in the stock market, the risks cannot change their minds.
