Escape into the Pages

Mar 16, 2010 16:26

I read because then I don't have to think about myself. I can get lost in someone else's thoughts, dreams, aspirations. And I don't have to worry about the idiocy around me, how it might just be present so strongly in the book I'm reading, because it's all fiction.

I like the supernatural best. It's not real. It's something where I revel in the possibilities. The unknown.

The unknown is good. It's potential to escape from the reality of knowledge. Knowledge that I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. There's no literal way to escape. Only through my mind.

Which is why i write. I appreciate the creation of escapes. It makes me a better person. It helps me understand what it takes to be human. But sometimes I wonder if it will ever become a possibility within my reach.

Hope can tease you like that.
