Fairylife

This post is related to my last one in a way. The first line of one of my favorite songs is, "you'll grow old living in your own fairytale." For some reason I had this part of the song running through my head this morning. It was going through my head while getting ready this morning. I started to really pay attention to those words. What does it mean? How true are the words?
I have always been a day dreamer, but never let it get in the way. Most of the time I play these day dreams out while I am driving by myself, trying to fall a sleep. These dreams haven't changed much over the last ten years. I think that "growing old in my fairytale" would mean letting these day dreams run my life. I don't pretend that these could ever really come true, I know they are more of a fantasy "prefect" life. I think that the day dreaming is good for exercising my creativity. The dreams are in my mind kind of a silly thing to do, so I don't share what these dreams are in any real detail. I think I told my wife a real vague description of what they are.
The song goes on to ask the question "all those fancy things, do they keep you warm at night? Do the hold you when you cry in the dark?" I get from this that you may get all that is in your own fairytale but will it bring you happiness? It really makes me think about my priorities in life, and what they should be. I hope that I have my priorities right, and that I am not "growing old in my own fairytale.
