I've always felt like I didn't belong.
Not just in my house, or at school—but in the world itself. Like I was dropped into the wrong life, the wrong family, the wrong body.
People say things get better. But in my case, they didn't. The yelling never stopped. The cold silence never warmed. And every time I tried to speak up, it felt like no one heard me. Or worse, no one cared.
I'm only seventeen, but sometimes I feel like I've lived a hundred years. Tired, numb, waiting for something to change… even though deep down, I stopped believing it would.
Every night, I close my eyes and imagine a different world.
One where I'm not broken. One where I can smile without pretending. One where I'm loved, wanted—even important.
That's when I found out about something called reality shifting. People say it's a way to move your mind to another world. A world you create, with rules you write. A place that feels more real than this one.
At first, I thought it was just a dream. Just stories made up by desperate people like me.
But the more I read, the more I needed it to be true.
Because if there's even the smallest chance I could live somewhere else…
Then maybe I don't have to stay here forever.
Maybe I can finally wake up in a world that feels like mine.
