I was very lonely when I was little, so I used to make-believe myself a lot of friends.
I used to stare up into the sun or lightbulbs to get the colorful splotches in my eyes. I thought this was them. At first I thought they chased me around, even wearing sunglasses didn't get them away, but we became friends.
when they faded away, I was sad.
I had imaginary friends until I was about 11-12?
