Well, that's why I avoid dramatization. Anyone can daydream - it takes discipline to think on the margin.
What do I have? What do I want? How can I beat use the former, to achieve the latter? Those are the only questions of much practical importance here, cottagecore (or maybe conquercore) fantasies aside.
Not to shoot you down, though. Sometimes the daydreams we harbor really are what push us to chase new vistas. I learned this about myself when I hopped on the plane from Boston to Helsinki without a job, a passport, a driver's license, or anything that couldn't fit in one suitcase. You're always allowed to take the dreamer's path.
