Gavin, I can’t talk to you here. People will call me crazy." My imaginary friend smirked. "But you’re already talking to me." " Well, I have to stop." His smirk grew cocky. "I doubt you can resist." And he was right. There was nothing I wanted more than to give my full attention to an imagined shadow and ignore those who ignored me in the real world. I wanted to talk out loud to Gavin―to play and laugh boisterously with him. In a dream I could justify such behavior, but to succumb to hallucinations while wide awake would only prove me insane. .

About This Quote

The idea that those who have been ignored can be heard by those who have been ignored is a common, if not cliched notion. In this quote, the author is talking about the power of imagination. In this world, we are bombarded by so much information that sometimes it is hard to know what is real and what is imaginary. There are so many things going on at once, it can be hard to tell which information is important and which is not. Sometimes, people who have been ignored in the past become more vocal as they grow older, as a way to prove that they exist.
