Fantasy

I have always heard people talk about fantasies, but everytime I felt like I had none. I have seen people writing fiction, it does require quite a bit of imagination. But I love writing about things that are. But fantasies do keep us alive. Something fake but helps us survive the reality.

I suddenly realised today the fantasies that I have had. The ones that keep me alive with the hope that someday I would live those moments in reality.

I imagine at times driving a car or being in a car with family, on a high way but surrounded by trees, it is drizzling or the sky is cloudy. It's a non scary route, we are not scared of any mishaps. We are long way from home and not in a rush to reach somewhere. Not scared that it might get dark and that it might get difficult to drive in night. Knowing all that, we just breathe fresh, pure air. The eyes can see green all around. We stop and get out of the car with a flask of hot tea. We pour it in paper cups and smile and take a long breath as we sip our tea.

There is another image that appears in my mind when I chase cars around my head. This one I can really feel like I am living it. I see vast area, dark green grass all around, the ground is not level but the grass feels so natural and premium. It's a dark blue grayish sky. With clouds. It's evening. I see myself lying down on the grass. I see no one around to the far distance. There is no worry or terror of anything. I just close my eyes as it drizzles. I feel no pain. There is nothing in mind. It makes me smile every single time. It is said that we keep on wishing for something or the other thing, one level accomplished, want to achieve another. I just want to live this one. I believe I would not want anything else, then.
