Fiction VS Reality

Hey there,people.
To begin with,I just wanted to tell you that you are beautiful,and I hope your days was good,and I hope you have a good life,because I am sure that you are all worth it.
Anyway,back to the post.
I strongly believe that saying stuff like "if you know me,then you probably/should/must know that I ..." and all that.It's getying kinda old,so.But I would say that at a moment like this one.Because,this post is about something that is so me that it almost hurts.
A thing that really helps me get through my days is fiction,kind of in any possible for.And not just fiction.I really find a shelter-like place to relax in anything like music,books,TV shows,movies or even homework sometimes,since it gets my mind off things at times(even if it makes me feel like a complete failure at others) and that is kind of what I'm looking for if I actually have to spend my days in the same old boring daily life.



I think that it is very important for people who don't feel comfortable living in their own skin,or walking in their own shoes (metaphorically),to find a way to deal with reality,even if just by finding the means to avoid it as good as possible.
To me,as I mentioned before,fiction is a real escape.
And I tend to care about it a hell lot more than about the crap ass reality that simply is so hard to deal with and mainly puts so so so much pressure on teens and not only.I think reality puts a lot of pressure on any person,and it is very sad to think about that,to be honest.
I just find the idea of putting my head in a really nice book or just plugging my earplugs in to watch a nice TV show,or listen to sme chill music,or even going to a cinema,where the entire atmosphere is just so amazing,if you ask me,really fascinating.Just naming all these activities give me the feels.I just think that,for me,at least,deciding to ignore real life,even for a short period of time is very precious.I mean,if I get the chance to empathise with somee other being,and just ignore my life for a while,I am surely going to take that chance,even if it means that I get so many feels that I get overwhelmed by them.I just think that I would let the entire rality sink in and decide to ignore all my little escapes for no matter how short of a while,I am going yo have another break down.Not having any way to escape your problems in order to take a breath and have a look of the entire game board.
It is very important for one to know when to take a step back and breath in.Life is hard,and as one person that I find truly amazing and inspiring and a true genius (aka John Green) says "The world is not a wish granting factory."This being said,it's important to know when to back off and take some time for yourself,because your health,especially the mental one if you as me,is really important,and you should put yourself above all.
Be happy.
Read a book.
Watch a movie.
Fiction gives us the peace that we cannot have in real life when we need it.Fiction allows us to have the adventures we could never possibly have in real life.Fiction gives us the opportunity to make friends and fall in love and find home even when reality is so cruel,and mean,and lonely.
I don't even know.
Love always,
Me.

Gods, monsters and ugly sea fish - Frances Hardinge's DEEPLIGHT

Rating:  ★★★.75 / 5 Plot: For centuries the gods of the Undersea ruled the islands of the Myriad through awe and terror: they were very real, and very dangerous. Sacrifices were hurled into the waters to appease them, and every boat was painted with pleading eyes to entreat their mercy. They were served, feared and adored. Then, thirty years ago, the gods rose up in madness and tore each other apart. Now, none remain. The islands have recovered and the people have patched their battered ships and moved on. On one of these islands live Hark and his best friend Jelt. To them, the gods are nothing but a collection of valuable scraps to be scavenged from the ocean and sold. But now something is pulsing beneath the waves, calling to someone brave enough to retrieve it. Review: The more I think about this book, the more in awe I am even though it's been a while since I've finished it. I had heard people singing Hardinge's praise for age...

The sequel of my dreams? // MONSTROUS DESIGN blog tour

  I was lucky enough to be part of the blog tour for the first book in the series , Dangerous Remedy , last year and it's fair to say these characters have been, as is their way, living rentfree in my mind ever since. Not only was the first book such a fantastic read, it ended on a cliffhanger promising many more adventures to come, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the second installment in this series. Thus, I shall share with you all things Monstrous Design  so that you can join in my excitement! Synopsis:  Following the thrills and spills of Dangerous Remedy, the Battalion of the Dead return in a dazzling new adventure, set amid the opulence and squalour of 18th-century London and Paris. 1794, London: Camille and Al are desperately hunting Olympe's kidnapper. From the glamorous excesses of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens to the city's seedy underbelly, they are caught in a dangerous game of lies and deceit. And a terrible new enemy lies in wait with designs more m...

YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN // book review

YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN BY LEAH JOHNSON ★★★★★ CW: anxiety, panic attacks, mentions of death of a loved one, illness of loved one, homophobia (challenged) & outing    Synopsis:      Liz Lighty has always believed she's too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed midwestern town. But it's okay -- Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor.       But when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz's plans come crashing down . . . until she's reminded of her school's scholarship for prom king and queen. There's nothing Liz wants to do less than endure a gauntlet of social media trolls, catty competitors, and humiliating public events, but despite her devastating fear of the spotlight she's willing to do whatever it takes to get to Pennington.   ...
