I had an epiphany the other day in relation to this.
I spent most of my middle high school years lost in a fantasy world I created complete with alternate life history to adulthood, culture geography in various place etc etc etc. It was very detailed and involved. Freaked the heck out of my parents, LOL!
But 'coincidentally' it faded out at about the same time that I had to start studying units for my university entrance exams and I couldn't hand in assignments written during my lunchbreak anymore. Hmmm...
How could I be gifted, and yet never make that connection before
(humour alert)
