My Way Out - Amaya/Biromantic Bison

This is an assigment from 7th grade. I had to write two ramble writes about what I do when I need a way out using two different perspectives.

2021 When I need a way out, I read. I read and read. I get into my movie reading (where I see it like a movie and don't notice that I'm reading). I let my mind be enveloped in the world of the book. I let my body relax, the stress leaving my shoulders. It's quick and it works. I forget about the world around me and traverse through the story with the characters. I don't think about anything except the book. The story. I turn the pages, letting all my worries go with them. When I stress about a hard and long project, I read my book. When I stress about my life, I read my book. When I have any worries at all, I read my book. The book. The feel of the pages. The characters. They all make me comfortable and relaxed. Like nothing can ever go wrong in the world. Like I'm in the story, like nothing from the real world can affect me.

You're stressed. You want to relax. You want to forget about everything. So you read a book. You start to forget. Start to forget about your homework that you have to do, your chores that you don't want to do, your parents that are bothering you about your grades. Your mind enters story mode and you only think about the book. You don't notice the whir of the fan, the sound of a turning page, your family talking around you. Your mind is only focused on the book. You become tranquil. Peaceful. Calm. You have no more worries. No more stress. Only you and the book. Until you finish. You're back in reality, the real world. You remember your homework, your chores, you parents, and you read. You read and forget, once again. You're back in the world of fantasy. The world where you escape your problems. The world that you never want to leave.
