https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqg3kcwAgsoSome of the lyrics are:
"Wish I could find a good book to live in.
"Wish I could fine a good book.
"Well, if I could find a real good book,
"I wouldn't have to come out and look at
"What they've done to my song."
Having an escape is understandable and maybe even wonderful. But, the trick is keeping it separate. I think you will be ok.
I had (still have) the book, "The Widow's Broom" by Chris Van Allsburg, where an elderly lady had a magic broom that helped her around the house, and even kicked a few asses. I became so attached to that book (with the excuse of reading it to my children) that one day, I started to put it in my purse and take it to town with me. That took me aback. I had to ask myself why I was so attached to it, and realized that I was exhausted and needed help--it was me who needed the magic broom. After that, I was able to put it away and haven't looked at it until now to get the correct spelling of the artist's name.
Try to understand why you need that character in your life. It may be very revealing to you.
Good luck to you! :)
