What fantasy? I have friends, family... I make extraordinary meals, a
library that would make a small bookstore blush, access to any kind of
medicine I need, and absolute comfort in real life.
When I'm not feeling good... I just have to think about those things,
and then reach out for them to obtain them. There's no need to hope
that maybe an insubstantial, immaterial, and immanent supernatural sky
pixie might listen...
It's disingenuous of you to interpret what I said into something
twisted and surreal... it undermines the credibility of anything else
you have to say.
Cheers,
Dreamer
