“They tell me I live in a fantasy. That this world I’ve built for myself is as fictitious as the stories where the main character ends up happy with all the plots problems resolved by the last page. They tell me that reality is not beautiful and inspiring but harsh and unfair. I’ve painted myself a life where no one can hurt me. I’ve created moments in my mind that have not yet happened. Moments in which everyone is happy and gets what they want. Moments where he stays, moments where I know how to let go, moments where my best friend never learnt how to doubt herself. They tell me I live in a fantasy world, but I would rather escape to a place of a plastic paradise then stay here where forever is as impossible as being able to look at yourself and say, “this is okay.. this is enough.””
