Today,  I came across a quote written by one of the most my favourite author, Haruki Murakami "Have you ever had that feeling, that you would like to go to a whole different place and become a whole different self?". 

I used to do especially when I was just a small girl. Books made me dream of new fantasy world and when I chased after characters in those books, I felt like I might be one of them, exploring my own new world of limitless.

When I grew up, life makes me sometimes too drained and depressed and the dream comes back once in a while, new world, new self...

What about you, my friends?

  • Of course that books, movies with plot which is interesting might drag us into different world but I personally take it just as something temporary like a dream. To change completely my real life, to run away from everything is sth what only brave people can do. I want to run away just via books...to immerse myself deep into them and enjoy my own fantasy ;-)
    • Me too, because I know well, to do something like that in real life for me is absolutely impossible ...

  • I like to go to a whole different place where no one knows me but I will just be myself :D

    • So travelling is the best thing for you to do, Pixary. It can meet  your desire anytime. Good luck :)

  • if the situation become as a tough time, i usually hear some music, music can become a door to enter my own imagination world, i can do anything at there, and when i stop that music, i usually get a better feel and mood :D, just share

    • Nice idea, I also do the same at times. But actually it doesn't always work for me. Thank for sharing anyway!

  • I see I,m not the only one that note these (for me) uncomfortable feelings. The worst is that the older I get the more uncomfortable even unbearable they become. Hope it's not a matter of cowardice (like Dinushi say) but of tiredness or boredom of facing daily problems.

    We are not machines but humans so inevitably our minds have not always the same resilience to handle different and continuous issues in work, family life, marriage, love...

    I confess that more than once I've been ready to change my lifestyle, my work, my place and go as far as possible, my friends, my ...ehmmm (It's enough), but then you realize there,s some strong ties which make you think your decision twice.

    Well, I should also say that I,m trying to see the positive side of everything and be grateful for the lot of good things there're around me. It helps you to have peace of mind even to improve some situations.

    Btw, why don't you create a group in which members could interchange their roles each other for some time? :D
    • Why you always speak out what I was just thinking in my mind, Estanis? :D And could you elaborate your idea about the group, it sounds interesting enough for me...

  • Yeah, sometimes I had that feeling. It's depend on my situation. If I going through some difficult situation or spending rough days, or have so many problems then I think what if I go to another place or planet. Then I think I can find peace. Maybe it's because I want to escape from reality like a coward.. but sometimes it's feel better, when I imagine about fantasy world, and living there peacefully..
