While this could go on the venting thread, I feel like many won't understanding what I'm feeling. Lately, I have been trying to find any form of escapism since it usually makes me feel better about what I'm currently going through, couple that with the fact that COVID-19 is also now in the way.
It's that lately, I keep having trouble with a focused mind. I don't know what's bothering me, this stupid virus or the fact that my life isn't as orderly as I would like to anymore, even I don't know exactly. Usually, RPs and imaginary stories in my head, as well as playing games I like, making me forget about the situation that I'm in currently usually makes me feel better. If nothing else works, I turn my mind toward Minecraft, the blocky nature of the game somehow comforts me in this trying time, maybe it's because most of the blocks aren't affected by gravity or due to the game having its own fictional dangers like monsters at night or going to a dimension that's literately filled with lava oceans.
Even though I'm not liking college, it somehow strangely became a form of escapism for me since while it is mandatory for me to do, it also gives me an escape from reality, funny how even your least favorite thing can bring you joy in ways that you wouldn't think. Weirdly enough as well, biology also became a form of escapism for me.
Here is one final point I need to make because I saw this very recently and it just grinds my gears that it's mostly unopposed, the fact that for whatever dumb reason, we can't enjoy a piece of entertainment for the sake of enjoying it. This is the part where I feel like many don't understand me and that's fine, but just let people forget about any bad things they are going through while using that entertainment and let them become lost in the fictional world. Is that really so much to ask? Let people be immersed in the world of what they are currently seeing when they want to be immersed.
This is all for now, if I see anything else that I feel like I need to mention here, I'll add to this blog. But as for right now, I'm going to look for ways to make myself feel better and look for more ways to immerse myself into whatever fictional world I choose to immerse in. Maybe I'll even create very short stories out of them if I feel like it.
EDIT: This is a Closed Blog because I just simply made this to vent out all I wanted to vent out without being nagged at. But I know that in time, I'm going to start enjoying things without thinking too deep into them, only deep enough for them to be enjoyable for the sake of them being enjoyable.
