Fantasies

I have this problem getting caught up in the fantasies I make up in my head. I just watched a really awesome coming of age movie about a boy spending the summer in a beach town. This led me to think of the summer which somehow led to camping. Then I was absorbed into this fantasy of me, my best friend, this guy I know, and a few other anonymous faces going to a campground together. It became so real as I imagined the night of us all sleeping in a tent, me beside the guy I know and having him roll over in the middle of the night to cuddle me. I was then broken back into reality but even then I was so happy just at the thought of that happening. I get way too caught up thinking about things like that and getting really happy and excited about them only to realize they probably won't ever happen. The guy in this particular fantasy tends to show up in some of my favorites, as does my best friend, probably because they are the people I have the most fun with. The problem with my fantasies is I know they aren't real but they are realistic enough to seem real and for a second I forget that they aren't actually happening. I know getting myself excited for things that won't happen will only make me disappointed but they make me so happy I don't like depriving myself of that. Fantasies are just like dreams and no one ever tells you to stop dreaming so I'm not going to stop fantasizing.
