Ive been an escapist since i can remember

I wonder if a lot of us will identify here?

Since I can remember, ive been an "escapist". Always reading books, or playing story games, or going to a treehouse or cave to "hideout" in.

When i was older, driving hours to nowhere after work, almost daily (not as much now).

Never really had modern tech. Always preferred older tech even when i was young. Was never swayed by "better graphics" of newer systems. Nowadays I like most systems, but still prefer pre Xbox 360. Or PC.

Even now, my basement is setup as a 70s-90s room to hang out in. Its great.
Side note I have always preferred basements and I love caves. Not sure why. Maybe something from the _ancestors_. Maybe I am a mole.

I don't use popular social media or watch most popular TV shows.

Maybe its because the world sucks. I'm not really depressed or anything like that. I just prefer my own worlds. If it was a more recent thing I'd get it since the world is going downhill fast, but ive just always preferred this.

I just think its interesting.
