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.

Strange The Dreamer || book review || blog tour

I was absolutely ecstatic when the publisher asked me if I would like to be part of the blog tour to celebrate the release of the paperback version of the book into the world. The official release date for it is Thursday, March 9th. (and the price of it is  £8.99) Now,on to my thoughts of it, seen through the filter of a year having passed since I read the book when it was initially released, yet with the original excitement,since this book causes me many feelings. G oodreads :  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36187690-strange-the-dreamer R ating : ✯✯✯✯✯/ ✯✯✯✯✯ P lot :  The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around—and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old he’s been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents ...
