Sometimes I envy those who cannot tell the difference between reality and imagination.

Just sort of a thought I have been having lately.

Some people are mentally ill and believe they are living in some kind of other reality or fantasy and have divorced themselves from the real world. I have noticed that these people are often pitied and shunned. I on the other hand think that if that kind of thing makes the person happier in their lives I sort of envy them.

 

I understand that these people often cannot care for themselves and may behave in ways that harm others, and that is unfortunate. But so many times in a day I wish I could actually close my eyes and drift into another place and actually believe I have escaped.

I do that when I dream, hell I do that when I'm awake, but at least the autism is mild enough where I can function properly in the actual world.

Though I much prefer my own, as they know me there.
