Sometimes a place doesn’t have to be real for the feelings it gives us to be real.
A quiet moment, a little trust, and a creature born from our dreams.
Perhaps it is these little escapes from reality that remind us just how beautiful it could be. 💜
I see it a little differently. I think beauty exists in both our real and virtual worlds, but each has its own kind of beauty and deserves to be appreciated for what it is. I love the creativity and possibilities of virtual worlds without needing them to replace reality. Real life keeps us grounded, and it too is filled with extraordinary beauty if we remember to notice it. For me, the two can complement one another without having to become one. 💜
In principle, I completely agree with you. But at the moment, there's little that's beautiful for me in the real world. Then again, what even is real? Every thought, every feeling, no matter where we are, and for me that includes the virtual world. :-)
I understand, Dorena. Sometimes life makes beauty terribly hard to see. But I also believe there can be beauty even in the hardest chapters—not because what is happening is beautiful, but because love still exists within it. A hand held, a conversation, a laugh, simply being beside someone we love—those moments have enormous value. Sometimes recognizing them brings a kind of healing, even when we cannot change what is happening. I hope you don't miss the beauty of the moments you have together while wishing life were different. 💜
