“Of all the things I am not very good at, living in the real world is perhaps the most outstanding.“

– Bill Bryson

Reality is overrated. Bills, deadlines, queues, and the baffling expectation to remember passwords—it’s all a bit much. Some of us, prefer to drift slightly outside the real world. Not entirely disconnected, just… loosely affiliated.

The real world insists on practical things—like reading terms and conditions before clicking ‘Accept’ or knowing the actual price of milk. Meanwhile, the rest of us are busy contemplating why ‘quaint’ is both a compliment and an insult.

Living in reality is a skill. Some master it. Others, well, we wander through life slightly bewildered but always entertained.

Which side do you fall on?
