I’m diving into the deep end of the ways fantasy acts as a map for the shape we want reality to take. Why is it that when it comes to owning our fantasies—putting them up on the mantel for all to see—we take a leaping, headfirst dive straight under the covers?

I hypothesize that we’re too selfless. We’ve been trained to think of the other: to care for them, empathize with them, anticipate their needs. In the process, we’ve eroded the edge that tells us where we end, and someone else begins.

Love, Jaclynn
