Reality is all around us, specially
nowadays when we can access the 🌍 with a click of a finger. Sometimes
that same reality can suck us in, weighting down our emotions, our
minds, our souls. Social media and television can be unwanted intruders
in our daily lives if we allow them to consume us. My favoutire way of
letting go and unwind is by reading. But not just any genre... I
honestly love fantasy.
Fantasy books allow me to dive in a new
world, to imagine new scenarios, new colours, scents... Many think that
by reading fantasy we hide from everything else and while I understand
why someone would think that, it is the complete opposite. Fantasy can
help me make sense of the world by thinking outside of the box, by
living adventures that can challenge my perception and my morals.
Living vicariously through fantasy heroes
who face hardship, can turn the heaviness of reality into something more
light, more understandable, more bearable. Fantasy brings a lot of
colour to a world that sometimes can be grey.
Will I love fantasy books forever? I dare
say...
