Hold on to what's real

My Chiu,

I can hardly guess what the world will be like when you're all grown up. I might end up sounding a little froppy right now, but bear with me love . I wrote this in 2015 after all :) Back in this age and time, we've had intriguing literature and movies about magic, alternate technological realities and while all this felt like a dream just a couple of years back, I think it's become real.

This is how I look at it- there's the real world where we physically live and there's an alternative world where we live mentally and sometimes emotionally. The second world is often aided by technology, its largely online like this blog where I will hopefully live for you long after I am physically gone. Just like the Harry Potter books - dead people moving around and talking in photos!!

Now I think my challenge and more so yours is going to be able to distinguish between the real and reel. The imaginary world aided by technology will always be better; reality won't stand a chance against the colors you paint with your mind after all. But what's important to realize is that life is happening in the real world ! I know I suck at this myself, but think about it for a minute. Real people and real emotions, things and memories that you will cherish forever - all of these are real.

So what I am saying here is ... Always stop a moment and pinch yourself, ask if this is real, if this is going to last. And I'll tell you a trick!:) imagine the universe, the milky way, the earth, the continent , country, town and finally see you in all this milieu..... Look at it from 100 feet above the ground and chances are you'll be able to see things as they really are!

Tough one this one, but I know you'll ace it.

Kisses
Momma
