Have you read the house on mango street?
There is a chapter about a woman, who never leaves her house, and sometimes lowers money down to the kids so that they can buy her coconut, or papaya juice. She wishes there were drinks sweeter, like the tropical island drinks, served with leis and grass skirts... She wants the freedom and happiness of the islands, but has to settle for juice.
I'm like that in the sense that i wish I could be something more than human, not like everyone else, limited by reality, and by what i can and can't do. I want to live in a dreamworld of magic. A place where anything is possible, where i can fly or something. I dont want to be a carbon copy of everyone else. I want my dreamworld, my exp points, my mech wins. I have to settle for Final Fantasy, or Legend of Zelda. And I physically ache in knowing I can't have it.
