LJ Idol Week 6: Not of Your World

[scriblesnbraile]

My mom is always saying that my sister Sarah lives in her own world. But she doesn't mean it in the way that people usually do. My sister's never been a daydreamer. My Sarah’s world, the world in her mind, is her reality

Oh, this is beautiful, just beautiful. *wiping my eyes* Your precious Sarah, ...
It is interesting to me how she's used the word retire here; a lot of people say they retire from work because it was too stresful or they were too tired, and she's really seeming to use this word, maybe to tell her family something that you all are now only just realizing, watching her be happy again.
I love your Sarah too.

Awww, thanks.
At first, we didn't read too much into her use of retirement, but I think that you're right. She was trying to tell us something all along. I'm glad we finally see it. *smiles*

What a lovely tribute to Sarah! I'm sorry she finds the world so stressful. Some people are like that, finding refuge only in a world of their own making. It can be sad, because they don't know how to be happy in the real world. Still, you say she's happier than you've seen her in a long time, and, perhaps, for now, that's enough.

Awww, thank you.

It is sad to think that she finds the world so stressful. But she is happy now, and for now that is definitely enough.

I think it's good your sister has found something that makes her happy. Hopefully it keeps working for her.

I hope it does, too.
