Strange Feelings discussion

I think that I read novels when I'm stressed and I want to step back Yes that's true and call it that I'm interested in reading but actually that's an obsession , a distraction for me to easily escape my real life situations for a short span of time

I am 32 and I adore a great deal of young adult fiction. When I was in school two things came very easy to me: reading and writing. Okay three: IMAGINATION. I have not lost my love for writing, life just got in the way. But indulge in my passions of reading and using my imagination often together. I tend to not like books that remind me too directly of what is going on my real life, because reading helps me cope with stress. But so do the games I play online geared towards a younger set. I think if I have learned anything in my short life...it is those that lose their inner child to behave silly and and have fun, to be complete dork and be grown up but love Harry Potter, or just never let go of the Neverland that resides inside of us all are truly blessed people. And I'm lucky to count myself amoung them. Life has been hard on me and I nearly become bitter and hardened from it. But at the end of the day I choose my easiest access to another portal where you must suspend adult belief! I read the words and in my vivid imagination the world comes alive for me. My father always encouraged me to run off with Tinkerbell to Never Neverland so I'd never grow up. I couldn't literally run away, so I internalized the message to never not look at the world with wonder. Books old and new, fiction and nonfiction have much to teach us. I would be as giddy today going to Disneyland as I was when I was 8 years old. I believe these things for me are worthy of presveration. In a harsh and difficult life, my JOY has primarily come from books. And in that sense I'll never grow out of my sense of wonder and search for discovery!

That's what I truly want for myself
I don't want to detach from my imagination
even if it is not acceptable by some people
