Parting with them is like parting with invisible best friend...

Shabbat shalom.

It's normal for children to have imaginary friends. And so believe, bogeyman are 'abandoned' imaginary best friend. That's what my cousin Abigail told me. or maybe it's from a Disney movie? Don't Look Under The Bed I think? Or maybe both. How about adult with imaginary friend? That Day-O...

I have 2 imaginary friends. Yes! have as in present tense. And I'm 27. One is Ben and the other Carlos. Actually, my imaginary friends are not as clear as most think or as movie depicts. I can't describe them physically. Although I can't 'see' them, I can feel their presence. They help me with puns which keep me laughing, they played in the car backseat when I'm driving (imagine Alanis' Ironic video clip). They are present only when I am alone. I even have an imaginary pet. Actually, it's my late dog, not exactly my dog, but I fed, bathe and walked the dog. He was a good hiking companion. He's dead but I had good memories together. Denial, maybe but I'm not crazy.

So one day, my mother caught me talking by myself. This freaks her out. I mean, I'm the craziest one and I used to see a psychiatrist (for my PTSD, ok) She really freaked out. Come on... I even talk in my sleep. And I talk every time. I'm just talkative. Because I'm a Libra.

Some said, adult with imaginary friends are creative, some says it's a manifestation of depression. Well, there's a thin line between creativity and craziness. van Gogh, Munch to name a few. We 'so-called crazy' people colour the normal black and white world. Without crazy people, the world is just a mundane place. So be thankful to us.
