"Sometimes I close my eyes and dream I'm somewhere else"

The moment I heard the song "anywhere away from here" by ragnbonesman and p!nk, I felt this wave of comfort knowing that I'm not the only one who try to avoid the reality by escaping into one's own head.

I live in my head more that I live in my reality. This might not seem like a good strategy but this has been keeping me sane all my life

I've been doing this ever since I was a little child. I used to imagine friends, situations, I've built a whole world, multiple worlds - complete with characters, their details, their family, everything about them, their relationship with me. It's like a sitcom in my head. It's funny and heartwarming because most often my reality was just the opposite.

I would love to know if there are others like me too.
