Why do I think that reading fantasy helps YOU ?
Simply because it helped me.
Now, I'm obviously not saying that what helped me will work for everyone. But I am convinced there is at least one person out there who will benefit from it.
And let’s be honest: If any of us gets the chance to help someone, even if it’s just one person, we all say YES, don't we?
There are so many books and genres out there. But when I am not feeling well, whether physically or mentally, the fantasy genre takes me furthest away from reality. That’s what I want, because I know beforehand that it allows me to completely escape from myself for a moment. But as soon as the book closes, you return to reality.
Often, you don't recognize yourself in such stories, and they offer little guidance for daily life. That is exactly why I started writing it myself.
I create a world that does not exist, to escape reality for a while, but with a main character who feels just like you and me, in varying degrees. We all share a common ground, even though every life story is personal.
When I read this, I disappear into another world, but at the same time, I recognize myself. I am not lonely then. And when the story ends and I return, I do so with the feeling that I didn't make my journey alone.
I am not alone.
