I came across this quote in a book I was reading recently.

As some psychiatrist once put it, we all build castles in the air. The problems come when we try to live in them.

Neil Postman

While I don’t agree with many of his sentiments in Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, I can still appreciate the quote.

In addition to poetry, I'm also a screenwriter at the beginning of her career working on a number of scripts. Although, I often spend the time I should be writing focusing on my interests in cinematography and photography. The great hope is to work in the film and television industry in the future.
