Half Term: Day 8 - Is this the real life or is this just fantasy?
Hello whoever might be out there,
I have an obsession with any life but my own. Any universe. Any world.
I absolutely love Pokémon. I would give anything to wake up and live in the Pokémon world, having my own little friends, battling and entering contests. It would be the dream. Ironically, I am terrified of anything that moves. I would have an arc like Lillie's in the Sun and Moon anime. It would be the best thing ever.
Or maybe I will wake up a magical world. Where I am a witch. I loved The Worst Witch books as a child. Living in a world like that would be the actual best. I have no other words really to describe how cool that would be. It is a feeling I struggle to put into words.
But unfortunately that is not the world I live in. I am forever confined to this one reality. And that does sting. Because people are so creative with the alternate worlds we make in media, and that to know they are nothing but fiction, is saddening. We are forever confined to this one, miserable world.
I try my best to escape reality as often as possible, constantly imaging myself in a place that isn't here. Call me delusional, but I challenge you to find a single person that would not want to live in an Animal Crossing New Leaf town.
These towns don't even have to be fantasy or magic. I would happily go and live in the Bob's Burgers or The Simpsons universe. Some people I know are even so willing to escape this universe that they would want to go to a purposefully dystopian universe such as The Hunger Games.
Maybe the simplistic writing in this blog proves that not everything has to be so serious and deep. Some people aren't ready for the real world. Some people just want to live a life of joy and whimsy, not pressured by the depressing nature of our political and environmental climate. Some people just want to have some fun.
I know I am a part of "some people". Are you?
Yours faithfully,
MD
