I actually gasped while reading today's definition. The fact that perception relies on memory which we already know is faulty because it's affected by our emotions means the world is indeed more fiction-like than I ever imagined possible. It could be another reason why I find it easy to be creative. I find it easy to see things from different points of view. It's funny in that it makes another great sentiment true = we create our own worlds. I encourage you to go out today and create your own world.
I would also like to give a big thanks to talented Latino writer Phillip Velez for including my blog among so many amazing ones on his 2011 list of Favorite Latino Blogs. What an honor.
