Escaping or Healing? Why are we crazy about Fantasy?!
Reading is not just a way to pass the time, it's also a way to step into a new world, filled with the thrill of discovering everything for the very first time.
You encounter everything your own world lacks. At the same time, everything you want to leave behind in your own world stays behind, making you feel lighter and freer.
But as you read on, you realize that even though this new world is different from your own, the characters' emotions remain the same.
Everything you encounter may be different, but the feelings stay the same.
And that is exactly what makes you feel lighter, because you are not alone. Others feel the same way, even in a different world.
What I personally love is that when I step out of that world for a moment, and put the book down, I actually feel better when I return to reality.
And yes, the fact that all those wonderful creatures you met there cannot come back with you to this world . . . We all hate that.
There is no escaping it . . .
