16 Ways Reality Isn't Fiction

"Books. Movies. They provide us humans a way to lose ourselves. They give us a perch near the stars, somewhere that is too distant for us to ever reach on our own. But then once they are out of our grasp, we are plunged back into reality. Back to what is known to us. Stress. Non-perfection. There's no flawless skin, no love at first sight. There's no magically getting an A on your bio test you never studied for (unfortunately), and there's no easy paths and no shortcuts to dodging the misery and the anger. In order to accomplish anything, I believe that you have to differenciate the two things, fiction and reality. You have to realize that there are no dreams that come true. You have to realize that there are no happy endings." -The Blog of Reality

Sky Harrison is living in hell. Fictional characters aren't. It's as simple as that. They don't have to hide their blog, their drug use, or their unusual addiction. They don't have to deal with humiliation that never lessens or no solutions to their problems. They have a defined ending. You can turn to the last page or skip to the last minute and see what happens to them. Sometimes they're even lucky enough to have an epilogue that tells them what's waiting on their timeline. Sky isn't that that lucky, though. She has to deal with real life.
