I have had an experience which might perhaps be described as being shot down. At the same time, I call shot down only when one falls down. Today I got into trouble but I escaped with a whole skin. ↗
I spent my childhood in an imaginary world - probably because I needed an escape. I think that's one of the reasons people have imaginations - because they can't maintain existence here. ↗
I just went and got an agent because I thought I can create my own world - you can't right your own life, but you can escape to a world where you can have control. ↗
