My Mind Creates Stories
About people I encounter.
I always imagine complete lives for people who pass through my life.
One look at them, and my imagination creates a whole book of stories about them.
Within seconds, my crazy mind will think up a sequence of events they are in and how they navigate it.
It isn’t always positive situations that my mind runs away with. When it imagines something malevolent, I try to stop it. Not that my thoughts hold any power over them, but my madness scares me at times.
This began in childhood when I created a joyful dream world for myself when life at home became difficult.
Imaginary situations constantly run through my mind, and it can become overwhelming at times. It never stops, and I have to work hard at being present.
This madness has nothing to do with the person, it just happens naturally when I encounter anyone.
It doesn’t influence my feelings or my view about them. It is an imaginary story that unfolds in my mind, separate from reality.
I attended a Medieval Faire yesterday, and my mind was in absolute overdrive with all the characters I encountered. It was a perfect situation for my imagination.
Everyone had a story for me to uncover and create in my mind. It was an amazing place to let loose and create magical tales.
I wonder if other people also have this inclination to tell a story in their minds about people they encounter.
Namaste
As a child going to school and coming back home I would have mind journeys. I would think of something I saw and conjure up scenarios. In primary school my friend Erica and I would sit for hours speaking our dreams out loud. I still conjure up scenarios when we are on a long road.
I wouldn't call it madness Rea,
I'd call it a daydream through the creative process. ✨️
