I went away in my head
*"I went away in my head, into a book. That was where I went whenever real life was too hard or too inflexible".
* "I liked myths. They weren't adult stories and they weren't children's stories. They were better than that. They just were".
* "I saw the world I had walked since my birth and I understood how fragile it was, that the reality was a thin layer of icing on a great dark birthday cake writhing with grubs and nightmares and hunger".
* "I do not miss childhood, but I do miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from the things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy".
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
