I want a fantasy life!

12 Comments

Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly happy with life. I have a great family, awesome friends and things couldn't be better. But sometimes I feel like this life and this world are a bit...dare I say...boring? It's difficult to explain, but it's true.

It could be because I watch a lot of anime, or maybe I read too many fantasy novels as well. But it's just how I feel sometimes.

I literally lay in bed at night, an hour or so before I even begin to feel tired, and just daydream. I pretend I'm in a whole other dimension, where magic and godly spirits and all of those fairy tale elements are all there. I put myself in this new world, and all of a sudden I'm not myself, but a whole other version of myself. The me that I want to be.

But then I wake up, my dream is shattered, and I'm back in the real world where things like that just don't happen. And as happy as I am with my life, sometimes I feel a little unfulfilled with the regular routines of life.

So, has anyone else here felt the same way? Or am I insane?

    It's normal. Why else do you think fantasy movies and books are so popular? Real life sucks. Our imaginations are always better because we can shape them into anything we want them to be.

    I myself have a very rich, vivid imagination and I spend the majority of my free time doing nothing but having adventures in my imaginary world with my imaginary friends.

    I watch a lot of anime and I read a lot of manga along with comics and shows like x men and such, it's an escape from the norm of reality!

    Agreed, after having a big adventure dream I get I little down after waking up. I feel like the dreams I rarely have are more fulfilling!

    You could try roleplaying (not THAT sort) over the internet or even writing a story of your own might help.

    I think we would all like to live in a fantasy world on some level, so it's normal so long as you are able to distinguish between the two.

    Aww, I think that's why anime or fantasy of any kind exists; it allows us to escape our reality for a bit. I read ten times more fiction than anything else, and for the same reason.
