Real Life Sucks

Fact.

Well, it does. Fantasy worlds provide a place for people to escape to when their lives becomes too much to handle. Being in reality is too boring and limiting since we can only do so much cool stuff and the Universe Says No to a lot of the cool stuff we want to do, like fly without using any machines, throw fireballs out of our hands, and run faster than necessary. Also, in reality, we have responsibilities to take care of, such as family, school, work, college, and maintaining our health.

Real life vs fiction is highly comparable to adulthood vs childhood. In fiction (childhood), we feel as if anything is possible, everything is an adventure, and we do as we want. But in reality (adulthood), things are sadly the very opposite: we want to believe we can do anything, but we can't even get past the first few steps of doing it; everything is tedious, predictable, and horribly tiresome; and we do as our oppressors tell us, no matter our age. In school, it's our teachers, and at work, it's our bosses.
