I cannot imagine a life without fiction. If not for the myriad of little worlds I make up in my head, I truly do not know where I would be or how I would stay sane. Daydreaming, to me, can be two things: pretending your life is a fantasy world, or projecting your mind to be where you would like to be in this very moment. 

​

But on the less silly side of things, I sometimes find myself wanting to disconnect from the people around me and instead be in my own head, either to imagine myself in a situation or place of comfort, or to explore an intrusive thought that has distracted me from my current reality. Sometimes, in moments wher I stress about my future, I like to sit for a while and imagine myself having achieved the goals I want in order to relieve that stress. Sometimes, in social settings, I end up looking zoned out from fixating on a daydream. I daydream to feel comfort, and I daydream to make life more colorful.

​

Like in Arabella, when I need a shelter from reality, I take a dip in my daydream. In fact, my first ever tattoo is a related Paramore lyric: “They say that dreaming is free, but I wouldn’t care what it cost me.” This drop is music and book-centered, of course. They help build the worlds I create.

Drop number five, Dip in My Daydream, is for those who live in their head. For those that feel like if you can dream it, you can be it. This drop is for those who make up scenarios they wish to happen (a crush, a fight, a conversation). It is definitely for those who pretend to be in places filled with comfort or blobs and creatures or adventures. It is for the ones who feel everything, and the ones that know those feelings in their head are real. It is an exploration of some aspects of everyone that is a dreamer in tune with their imagination: existentialism, romantization, and fantasy.
