sometimes the first thing you want never comes

It's weird to think that there's another reality. One that's so completely different from the one we live in, that the people living in it are considered "unstable". One that doesn't involve getting up every morning and going to bed every night, or getting a job and making decent money, or even basically surviving. One where the people aren't always looking for more or trying to move up in the world, but one where they're just living, if you can even call it that. One that is only in their heads. And they chose it. That's what a lot of people don't understand. Most of them chose it. They experienced it once and then decided to stay. They saw something new, something different and then they saw the actual reality and they chose their way. It's like they'd been walking on this clear cut path and now they came to a crossroad. One side was exactly what they'd been doing with clearly marked lines and predictability. The other side was confusing with blurry lines and it was all spinning and multi-colored. And they chose the weird side. They were intrigued. And what's so wrong with that?
