Quote

The quote I chose was, "Reality is a prison, imagination is the only way out." I chose it because I like the way it's written, so simply put it sounds almost poetic. I think it applies to a lot of people whether they realize it or not, since it's important to be creative and have your mind run its course when you're feeling stressed or unhappy. This quote represents me because often times I just need an escape from reality, and my outlet is drawing. With drawing I can put anything down on paper, letting my imagination run wild especially when my real life is making me feel down in the dumps. I believe that in order to remain poised in life, we must have something we can do that has absolutely no boundaries. To achieve this we can imagine anything within our grasp. If I lived every moment based on that quote, I feel like I'd make some irrational decisions because if reality is a prison, then it must also discipline us. And reality keeps us anchored to our morals, so if I did everything based on my imagination, my life would spiral out of control since I wouldn't really think of consequences to some bad decisions.
