Ernest Cline Quote

I need to tell you one last thing before I go. Something I didn't figure out for myself until it was too late. I created the oasis because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn't know how to connect with the people there. I was afraid, for all my life. Right up until I knew it was ending. That was when I realized, as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it's also only place you can find true happiness. Because reality is . Do you understand?Yes. I think I do.Good. Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't hide in here forever.
