Surviving the reality

When my brain came across this sentence, I kept thinking. Is this what I’m doing right now? My everyday life, am I surviving a reality that I had to face? Or was it just a clever assumption made upon a regretful decision? I have no idea.

I read a lot of fictions, especially one with related to real-life events. A friend once asked me why do I am so eager when it comes to book? I don’t remember what answer I gave to her at that time, but if she asked me now, I think I have a better version of an answer.

When I read fiction, I read it whole-heartedly. I imagine myself being one of the character, or even the main narrator. I imagine myself walking through the road my narrator brought me to. And from there, I found my happiness. I feel much comfortable being buried with my book, because there, no one will hurt me. No one can. I don’t have worries, and I just read and continue reading until the end of the book. From here, I realized that one of the reasons I was being so fascinated with books (fictions, not textbooks of cos!) is because, by reading them, I feel like I was being drifted miles away from my reality. And it gives me joy, which real life has never been able to.

But I cannot lie to myself. Hate it or not, reality is the space given to us in this life. So, what do we do when we need to be in a place we never want to be? We survive through it. We were all surviving the reality that has so many colors and so many dramas.

Just be brave and go through it. Be brave and fight it. Be brave and survive it.

Things may not be as bad as how it appears to be. There’s a reason for it to happen. While we may not see the reason just yet, we do have plenty of time to keep moving on and finding out about all the reasons. Don’t waste your life just because one person gives you such a hard times. Life is short, so make the best out of it.

This entry is written especially for you. Be strong and survive this hardship. You can do it!
