Diversity and imaginary friends

Just a quick thought before it goes away.
A huge bother button for me is when people think that the way they are living life is the correct way to live life.
There is no right way to live life. Except to continually grow in one way or another.
That's it.
Grow.
Accept your individual needs and grow. Everything else is arbitrary. You die eventually. It's really no big deal. As long as you live to your fullest. And personally speaking, I have had a Very adventure, risk taking, fun, enhancing life so far. And I am not even half way done! If I play my cards (and god be willing) I'll get another 50, 6o years in.

Lemme tell you I'm so serious when I say I need this move. I want to hear myself think again. I want to be in an environment where I am able to function the way that works for me. It's been so long..

I was in my element in Easthampton. I want that back. Bad.Even if I had imaginary friends. And you bet I did. When I was listening to the Squirrel Nut Zippers, I would have an imaginary fun boyfriend with suspenders and a hat in the doorway to the bathroom making funny faces at me.When I had my art supplies spread out all over the living room, I had a comforting presence of an imaginary craft buddy. And when I was listening to The Reining Sound and oh so loudly singing to myself and dancing and jumping around the room, I had company.

At least I know real flesh and blood people like me too. Though I will never lose my imaginary friends.
And I don't think I've ever told anyone about this.. so welcome to Emily coming out about a part of her imagination.
Maybe they are there because I have always had trouble accepting myself. It helps me.
But a flesh and blood friend wants to go play in the snow, now.
I'm so there. :)
