I remember when in middle school I made up something called a “Dreamscape”. It was around the time I had just started learning about web page making in the simplest sense. I drew rather sketchy things at the time… I was in seventh grade maybe? Those sketches were a strange people… they were similar to us, but their skin was black as ink and their hair was of primary and secondary colors… none of those in between shades. You couldn’t see any features upon their faces either… no noses, no mouths… You could see their eyes though. It didn’t matter if they were smiling, scowling or something else. You’d never know. I made a crap-tacular website for amusement and scanned the pictures into my computer. After coloring them in a paint program I’d put them up.
I don’t know why I did that, but I think I wanted to make a world of human-like beings that didn’t make my life hell. That, or I was just bored. They had small descriptions. One was an inseparable pair. They were always together, joined at the hip and if one left for the simplest thing, like say nature calling, the one left outside the door would think the world was ending. Remembering that, I smile. I guess that was why they were made. They amused me.
Well, in the thought of that vague, shortly lived world… I thought of now. I realized something tonight. Though I had made that little world where things seemed a whole lot better to me… I look at my life right now and I think, “I achieved that now.”
Yeah, the life I live now and the world created then are nothing alike… but they are still the same idea: Inner Peace.
