modern day slavery

My senior year in high school, I watched "Lars and the real girl" in AP Psychology. That shit was bonkers. What I never understood was how a lot of the girls in my class kept saying "awww" and talking about how cute it was. I know damn well if there was a student who went to our school who did something as crazy as that, everyone would stay the hell away from him and judge the fuck out of him.

I don't know, what I'm tryna say is that people always talk about an escape. Something different to save themselves from the cycles of daily life. Something to release themselves with. Someone to run away with. But when these chances come, these people end up either ignoring the opportunities or plainly staying in their position. People fear the unknown. People fear the future. At the end of the day, people would rather bitch in their position over and over again instead of finding a solution. There is never any true carpe diem. This isn't true for every single case, but for many situations, people choose slavery.
