: I love that you use that term, it's been on my mind this morning!! I'm having trouble (as usual) with my temporal life these days. Especially because my boyfriend, another four, and I can't see each other for awhile due to our common problems with logistics. You know, those regular things like money, car troubles, parking tickets, jobs, etc. that most people float through. They pose enormous obstacles for us, and it makes it frustrating when we want to be together. I was very depressed about this (feeling like a complete idiot and flawed individual) until today when I decided that instead of defective human beings, we are more like little woodland creatures that live in beautiful, magical worlds...worlds vulnerable to quotidien annoyances like the IRS...but divine worlds anyway. Wouldn't trade it for an easy life in the "real" for a million dollars.

I feel the same way :)
What a great way to put it: "that instead of defective human beings, we are more like little woodland creatures that live in beautiful, magical worlds...worlds vulnerable to quotidien annoyances like the IRS...but divine worlds anyway."
It's perfect.

When I feel so flawed, and odd and different from all the "normal" people living daily life calmly and easily around me... I have to stop and I realize that I would NOT be happy with a life like that!!
It's part of my "growing up"... accepting, and now enjoying, the fact that I am different :) I don't feel bad about it anymore :)
