"I live in 2 worlds" - sound familiar? Well this is all me! I've been living in these 2 worlds, and having just about 2 different personalities for a way long time now.
I was 12 when I discovered my addiction to the written word. I was into books of all sorts as soon as I could read, and discovered the worlds within their complex pages so captivating. I knew since then that words held such power.
Back to the "living in 2 worlds" statement . . .
I've never felt very comfortable showing my true self. Everytime I try, it turns horribly sour and awkward, so I just tend to be the happy, bubbly, "normal" girl that everyone wants to see.
That's where writing comes in handy and as a true life saver. I can escape and reveal who I truly am between the pages of a book, that can be sealed and all of that world can be trapped inside until I return for another chapter.
