Fantasy for the most part is really just reality reflected through a storybook lens.

About This Quote

Fantasy is the stuff of fiction, but it's also the stuff of life. The characters in your favorite book are real people, with real lives. The writer who created them has made up a story, but it's based on actual events. We all have fantasies about things happening in our own lives.

How would we change things if we could? But the reality is that it's hard to actually change anything about your life. So instead, you write down what you want to happen and let those words become a dream for you instead of a nightmare.
