"This is my release from the awfully intolerable world that society wants us to call home. Though, this escapism is a double-edged sword that constantly bites me every time I willingly touch it: it takes me to other worlds that I can fully dive into, something to escape the real world by; yet it pains me every time I close these paper portals afterward, for I must be thrust back into the cold and heartless reality.... Perhaps in this sense I am a masochist, for I will willingly keep coming back to answer this sadistic offer of illusions and release."
