Now, the tittle. Where does it come from?
When we are doing something that is healthy, or productive, or fun; our body releases hormones (for example dopamine) that make us feel a rush of happiness, so that we continue doing whatever it is we’re doing. What I believe is that this, even though they’re different shapes and versions of it, is the only thing that actually gives our life meaning. Everything else is simply a social construction, therefore it doesn’t have real meaning, not on a personal level at least. Even though this feeling is nothing but a chemical reaction in our brain, I like referring to it as Extasis. It has more taste to it, don’t you think?
So of course, since the series is just people living their life’s, making the best they can out of what they have, and trying to have some fun in the way; I thought it was an appropriate tittle. Of course, I like the fact that it’s a sort of playful tittle with two meanings: the drug—which are not exactly absent in the novels—and the feeling I explained.
If you have come this far, thank you. I love you. I hope you have a great day, and I also hope you enjoy these novels as much as I enjoy writing them. :))
