“I think I made you up inside my head ”
— Sylvia Plath
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, we imagine people to be different from who they really are. We create a version of them in our minds that matches our hopes and wishes, rather than seeing them as they truly are. For example, you might have a crush on someone and think they are perfect and kind, but in reality, they might be very different. This imagined version comes from our desires rather than reality. Understanding this helps us to have more realistic expectations of others. It's important to recognize when our imagination is influencing our perception so that we can form healthier and more genuine relationships.
