"I think young people should have a lot of fun. But I never seem to have any."

-Syd Barrett

 

I could say the same about myself. I've lived a rather sheltered life to date; my childhood wasn't the most exciting... A lot of it's monotonous to tell. Typical things here and there, like playing tag or pretend... Moving a few times...but little comes to mind if ever someone wonders about my life story.

My writing teacher once said that without life experiences, there's no inspiration, and that anything you write comes off as fake and inauthentic. The thing is, I stay cloistered in my room much of the time. Not that I can't go out... I just never do. Thus, I often draw inspiration from what I read, what I see, and what goes on in my brain during my nightly (or not?) slumber....

I've been interested in dreams, their bizarre nature, and the interpretation of dreams for a while now... So perhaps I'll be blogging about that...mostly... I think. (Other things, such as that poem I posted, shall pop up.) I've made previous attempts at blogging, but I was never able to find anything to shout to the world; I never blogged regularly... Even with this one, I think I'll start with some previous dreams, and later leave for a long period time, then come back... I get sporadic.

Anyway, that was just to state a few things there.
