Stuck on a Reef

At different parts in our lives we find ourselves frozen in an event, an experience, a fantasy....moving past the moment is sometimes easy and sometimes extremely difficult.  Right now I am stuck once again on a reef.  Trying to determine reality from fantasy.  What is reality?  Do I have the power to create my own reality through my fantasies?  Some say that's how our realities are constructed.  I am beginning to believe its just another fable.  For if it were the truth, I would be rich, skinny and madly in love.  However at the present moment I am confused, befuddled and craving chocolate.
