An Intro on the Story Conception

I found it particularly hard to put this all together. It was a challenge because it is all about boiling down the issues that I have with the world around me. I also had to look in the mirror.

That process opened my eyes to the intense connection between consumerism and mental health. I reached a point in my life where I realized that we are dealing with some diabolical exterior forces together.

Those forces have caused me to overlook and disregard my interior self since I was a little girl. We all have a similar journey. I’ve just got the balls to look the ogre in the face and make it stop.

So, reader, ask yourself, what is escapism? If you don’t know what that word means, allow me to take you on a small journey. This book will hopefully be your journey out of escapism. A definition will tell you that it’s just a distraction. It’s a relief from an unpleasant reality.

From a child’s point of view, it means indulging in nothing but a fantasy to escape the terrible world that is around them. That behavior is acceptable as a kid, but if it carries into adulthood, then something is truly wrong.

Today, we live in a society that profits off that indulgence. We’ll get there, but just understand that I am an individual that has received a wake-up call from that machine.

Something happened to me that pulled me out of the fantasy. Billions of the coinhabitants that exist around me right now have not reached that point.

Welcome to my story.

Brain Drops is my personal journey with overcoming toxic escapism, letting go of the past, and finally reaching self-acceptance.
