I want to live inside my dreams,
So far from my reality.
To build a life I want,
The one I think I forgot.
I want to live inside my head,
Play fantasy and make believe.
Where I can be hero and villain,
And everything else in-between.
I want to live inside this story,
I’ve been writing deep within my heart,
Where he comes and finds me,
And a new life begins to start.
I want to live inside his world,
This dreamed figure of mine,
Where I can have simple pleasures,
I have so often longed for.

New Normal
There is always a moment — small, quiet, almost forgettable — when the spark stops being a warning and becomes a state. It never looks like a turning point from the outside. It’s not a dramatic shift. It’s not a cinematic beat. It’s a subtle internal click, a recalibration so slight that only someone who has lived this cycle as many times as I have would recognize it.
