Addiction.

I understand it now. Different people have different kinds of addictions to different things. Drugs, alcohol, gambling, gaming…. I get it now. Cause I have an addiction too.

For a fleeting moment, you escape this world and you are brought to another place. In that instance, you are not you, you are not here. You escape the harsh realities of your real world, the world that just sucks, and for just a little while, you forget everything. It is an intense moment of like time slowing down, your whole body goes into this heightened tensed state until right at the edge, and then….. in a split second, you’re whole body relaxes, you are light and airy, you are floating and it feels like you're flying. For a while you get a glimpse of it, you are blissfully happy.

And that is all what addicts want. It is how we cope with this world. That is the only thing that everyone wants. Is to be happy. Even when it is little, even when it is not real.
