Imaginary Friend

For children at young age, there may be the slight possibility that they will have their very own imaginary friend, well, depends on the environment they’re in and personalities of course. Anyhow, this particular friend who exists in their heads may somehow be the reflection of their own, showing the sign of loneliness and desperate. Nevertheless, having imaginary friend is not children’s right to have, but also the adults; as we know, there are indeed people who talk to themselves, sometimes. To convey a message perhaps, there are those who would start mumbling on the spot as though they’re in a conversation with their subconscious, be it without knowing or simply an expression for the third party to take note of. To convince themselves perhaps, people ask questions over and over again, with their very own shadows, hoping to obtain the answers, when the rest of the world would simply be staring at them, wondering what’s going on in their heads. It is all in the mind perhaps, that we choose to ignore an issue by creating a similar situation where everything no longer fits in, or that we face the problems by telling ourselves there’s a need to express them and hence, the little conversation with another ‘us’ within us in front of the others and, us. Indeed we are not supposed to discriminate those who have imaginary friends or perhaps, another version of them in the subconscious, however, sometimes it’s plain irritating and even freaky when it is on purpose for the sake of attention and everything else that we can think of. As requested, my pappa's imaginary friend is an invisible pink unicorn locked in a taped brown box. XD
