A whole world at my fingertips Mine to create and explore To fill with people and cultures To bloom from nothingness
Mine to take care of Mine to destroy Mine to avenge Mine to protect Mine to adore
I have sought love and found it a million times Lived happily-ever-afters for millennium I have crafted worlds where everything is perfect And worlds where it doesn't matter that it's not
Boredom and loneliness are things of the past For in this place I have all that I need:
A Home A dimension A grand adventure A sanctuary for my soul A place where I can finally belong
I live two lives: My life there And my life here Here, in reality Dull, plain reality Where I am Cursed And love skillfully evades me Where my happily-ever-after taunts me just out of reach Where there is pain and danger But without the promise of love and adventure Sometimes I wish I could stay Stay in my world But I could never pick just one One Para or character to become Because I love them all One world to inhabit Because they are all so wonderful And good things wait for me On the other side of the Metamorphosis
One day, everything will be great We will always Triumph Alii Semper Vincemus!
And my worlds will always be there for me I will always have my power: to go wherever I please outside the realm of reality
Someday, I'll share my power with the world But for now it is my sanctuary My one reprieve Nothing Can ever make me give it up
As a Maladaptive Daydreamer, I have a sort of real life superpower: to enter fantasy worlds in my head. Too bad they're so good I wish I could stay there. Even if it's the literal zombie apocalypse, I still find myself longing to live there for real, at least for a little while. Every blessing comes with a curse I guess.
The world I'm writing about is Lindsavadia, a fantasy world of my own design. I drew it, and am world-building and culture-building right now. I actually created it for a book I'm writing! Writing a novel is HARD, but really fun. This is the first daydream that I introduced Lindsavadia to. I decided to use my daydreams as a technique for world-building, because it needed a lot of work. So I threw some of my favorite Paras in there and took them on a grand tour of Lindsavadia. Best idea I've ever had! The world-building is going GREAT! Way better than if I'd stuck to writing only.
I never thought I'd get this far. Truly amazing. I don't know what I'd do without my Paras and worlds. I hope that someday, I'll be able to share this magic with everyone
