OK, so I'm in eighth grade and my class recently finished the book, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I already saw the movie and I'm completely obsessed! My favorite character is Ponyboy because I am a lot like him, but Dallas intrigues me, too. So, I was daydreaming today and realized that I was putting myself in the story. I daydream or sort of fantasize about the story, and how I could fit into it. For instance, in my mind (wow, just realized how cheesy this sounds) I am Dallas's little sister who just moved into the city with him and I fall in love with Pony. Does anybody else find this crazy? I'm the one doing it and I'm freaked out!
But, I was talking to my friend Megan and she said she does the same exact thing! It's insane! Do I have crazy friends? And sometimes to my delight, I find that these stories, or scenarios I'm working out in my head are mostly true, or at least the things about me. Like, for example I love to dance and I love working on cars. These are all true about me, like a lot of other things. But, I also find that a make up who I want to be. A better person. In my "daydreams" I guess you could call them, I think of myself being my ideal person, an alter ego of who I want to be. This, surprisingly makes me strive towards being a better person. I see my fantasies and think that if I'm like that, all my dreams will come true. The feeling is incredulous, that you get when you look at who you are and who you want to be. Then you realize they are almost the same.
