Have you ever been haunted by the imaginary friends you had from your youth before? Well, I just had such an encounter. It was extremely sad and somewhat scary...

You see, when I was young, I always dreamed of building this humongous self-sustaining mansion. There are factories that provide its resident with food of all sorts of food out of no where and everything is generally awesome. Every time I read about a new animal, I will "bring" it into my imaginary world and make it my friend. I accumulated quite a number of them until some day, when I just forgot about everything... until 2 days ago.

I had a dream. In this dream, I was talking to the mayor of a town. The town seems to be deserted with only animals running around. And the mayor is the only human being. He told me that he is old, everybody is old and no longer the same. He seemed to be genuinely surprised that I can still go to that town and told me that I should leave. We walked towards a train station and on the way, he introduced me to different members of the town. A humanoid cat with wings wearing a mouse costume living in the clock tower. Camels and other creatures who could once talk but no longer seem to retain any of their humanity in them. As we are reaching the train station, he suddenly stopped. "You should go, it's time." And I was awake. I tried to use my imaginations to continue, to go back but I couldn't.

Then I realized that the mayor is me, the old me. He didn't grow old, it was I who has changed. It made me wonder if everything till now is worth it. Maybe childhood is indeed the best time of a life...

Anyway, moving on to photography. Had a trip with 3 guys to city area. The weather wasn't great and everything seems to work against us (somewhat). Still, it's a good practice and a good exercise.
