The Shift from Escapism to Granular Reality: A Personal Evolution

I just realized that because I have been writing so much and because of many other profound changes, I have started struggling to play video games, to read LitRPG progression fantasy web novels, and to enjoy video logs that romanticize the world, life, and everything.

I have stopped experiencing escapism as much. I think that is both a good thing and a bad thing. I am much more exposed and learned (books and such), because I do not focus too much on ideals. It is not that I do not listen to music or anything. It is more so that every step or moment feels more granular.
