Polaroid of her dream

In the beginning there was a girl and she dreamed. She dreamed of being a photographer, of capturing the world in her lens, of showing the beauty that she saw in everything to others. She dreamed of being an artist, of creating worlds out of her mind, and then sharing them with those around her. She dreamed that one day she would be able to go anywhere in the world and capture images that would make people stop and stare at their screens—images that would inspire them to create their own art as well.

But then one day she woke up from her dream and found herself trapped in a polaroid existence. Her dreams had faded away into blurry photographs on old polaroids and now all she saw was darkness around her. There was nowhere left for her to go but back into the dream world where everything looked so clear and sharp—so real—but was still just an imitation of reality."
