The inner world

Post Reply New Topic

As a child I could bring down a steel shutter between me and the outer world.
My inner world was a fine safe place to be.

Now I am an adult and must act as an adult in an insane world.

Often I feel like Peter Pan who has forgotten how to get back to Neverland.

The way lies open but to take it would mark me as "insane" to take it.

So I must show a "stiff upper lip" and continue to function in a world that I don't really like.

I found one thing out about myself. My inner world and the real world are strikingly different. Which so far has proved to be a bad thing. At times my inner world provides the buffer which protects me from the world I so badly don't understand. Eventually when I had to let go and step into the real world, the lines between fantasy and reality were blurred.

Sometimes ones inner world keeps one too isolated and alone, other times it keeps you safe. I guess the trick is to know when to let go, and when to stay.
