Have you ever wanted to escape reality..?

Have you ever wondered, what if I lived in a different world where everything is fine?

Those thoughts are the things  that constantly reoccur in TommyInnit's head.

Why do I live in suffering?

Why am I not content with what I have?

Why do I yearn for things that I know would never happen?

Tommy used everything within his reach to escape reality.

Watching Animated TV shows, watching streamers, writing, indulging in many different hobbies and topics.

And yet that didn't help, yet it only made his yearning worse.

Tommy saw the connection between the Anime Characters and the streamers he watched.

He saw how all of them shared different bonds.

Whether it was brotherly love, platonic parental love, hatred towards another character and many more.

Tommy wondered, What would have happened if I were like that?

What would happen if I was apart of everything?

One particularly rainy day Tommy was bored out if his mind so he decided, why not scroll through TikTok for a few minutes?

Minutes turned to hours and Tommy was so far from where he started happy with every content that he was presented.

He had his own daydreams as he scrolled through the content.

But he came across one that naturally broke down that wall of happiness.

It was an edit.

A particular one that reality just slapped him in the face with.

'I am a character on a screen'

'What you are seeing, I don't know you, and you don't know me.'

'What your seeing is what I'm showing you.'

And just like that his happiness crumbled and fell down the drain.

Replaced with the sadness reality brought to him.

'I am not your friend'

Tommy shut off his phone after he watched the edit.

It hurt but he knew it was true.

And there was absolutely nothing he could do about it.

So Tommy decided to escape reality.

Again.

Like he always did when these overwhelming emotions were too much for him.

He decided to go to sleep.

He knew it was all a facade.

But it still hurt knowing he could never make a connection with those creators.

And with his thoughts haunting him, Tommy drifted off to sleep.
