Wonderland Wary

What if Wonderland loses it's wonder. What then? I entered in a whole new world, filled with beauty and terror but it was the terror that excited me so. The new creatures to see and take witness to. A glamourous new world to feast my eyes upon. My mind already a haven for the curious to play, each new step in that new world and every sense of mine catapulted to a new dimension. Complete and absolute immersion, I let myself go into it. Not one moments hesitation.

What I didn't expect, or ever fathom was why Alice always went back to reality. All wonderland was for her, was that temporary escape needed. She only went there on rare occasion. A dream, a quick trip. Why? Because like anything else we know, the new and the different are exciting. It's just a quick escape of the subconscious to deliver us from the perils that reality seems to bring us.

The creatures and the beings who took our attention away for a moment, who made us think on levels higher than we ever dreamed, were there to keep us from losing it altogether.

Wonderland can be a diversion of your life in it's current path. We all go insane from time to time, and if we (or you) don't, then clearly you are meant for this world and reality(and I envy). I remember vividly each time I've escaped into a reality far from here. It was merely self preservation and a path diverting me from the one I was currently on.

I seem to be the only one who leaves, I am a new person each time.

I've been away to Wonderland. I made the mistake Alice didn't make. I stayed, and now slowly I make my way back to reality and find nothing is as it should be.

I've heard hell once described as isolation. Imagine if you will, and eternity in darkness with not one other contact. Just you, alone in a black expanse, with no one to find comfort in, other than yourself.

The creatures of Wonderland are already there, and they are all mad. Nothing to resemble home in them. After a while you see with awakened eyes, that they've all gone mad long ago, and in madness, you see they are in their own hell. You find, you need to find a door to return you back to home you suddenly long for. The very reality you thought you needed escape from. You miss those who once missed you. Find the person who validated your existence and perhaps you can call them home. Wonderland is in fact a dangerous place. Any place to escape, and make your senses sing is a beautiful thing. Visit those friends just enough to keep you interesting. Just be wary when you are there, not to forget the reality that changes right underneath your nose... at home, while you were out.
