Welcome to the Real World by Jane Child

I love this song and it has me wondering about reality.  Reality bites...sometimes.  Fantasy is deceptive because it is a great escape.  It does little to solve any problems one has in life.  It is like sin.  It feels good for a season but in the end it doesn't help.  Unlike sin, a little fantasy I guess is good.  I sometimes live in a fantasy world filled with obsessions, mulling, and compulsions.  It is about things that I wish I had like more riches, a thinner body, and millions of fans.  But I don't have any of these things.  Worst of all, it makes me less thankful and less grateful.  I in reality have a decent work ethic, spiritual riches, enough money to live on, and I am losing weight.  I am learning to take better care of myself.  I am affirming myself more and more each and every day.  Fantasy is good for a moment but even that has its limits.
