"Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it." ― Lloyd Alexander

Reality is ineffable. How do we being to say the things we want to say, when we don’t even understand them ourselves?

Art. Poetry. Metaphor. Fantasy.

When your devastation turns into a haunting painting of the ocean, when your rage turns into a story of a fire-breathing dragon, when your shame turns into a beautiful villanelle, dealing with those emotions becomes a little bit easier.
