I don't feel the same way and I haven't for a long time, but there's no easy way to change how you feel. You have to come to terms with the fact that life is finite, because that isn't so bad when you get used to it. I'd stop using escapism as a crutch, because so long as you keep engaging with escapism your own life will seem inadequate alongside it.
More than anything, it sounds like someone needs to wait until the economy picks up and there are more jobs, then get a new one the first day you can. Hold on, hold on, hold on until then.
It's not as much escapism as much as it's my imagination... If you lose that, you lose yourself... Your creativity, your own world, it's one of those things that separates you from the rest of the world. It means you're not just... Another body.
I don't want to let go of things like... What could be. What if? What's out there? I don't want to lose hold of my creativity, my imagination. Being a writer, that could possibly kill me. If not for the stories I've created, in all honest, I'm not so sure I would be breathing right now.
You don't have to lose your creativity, but you can be a realist. What is it about creatures from other universes that makes them innately any more exciting than this real world? There are plenty of ways to write about the real world that are just as creative.
When will this Occur? This economy, will not pick up. Do not Decieve yourself. For I fear this world is doomed, and is headed down the path of destruction.
Is it normal to be disappointed with life?

I just... Wish there was more, you know?

Life will be what you want it to be. It is mostly about the kind of attitude you hold I guess.

Methinks the queen needs some better advisors, in that case.

Yes, Perhaps. I do.
