Hey guys! So today in school we learned about tall tales. We each made our own and shared them with the class, and I thought you might like mine, so here you go:

So, we have been talking about the universe lately in science. And you may have noticed that I'd seemed interested in the multiverse. That is because...There is a multiverse. And I can travel it.

Okay, I'm not Doctor Strange. But I can travel the multiverse. When I was born (HERE. ON EARTH. I'M NOT AN ALIEN.) nobody noticed anything strange. But when I was one, maybe two, it started. When I dreamt, I disappeared. I rarely cried when I went to sleep because I was somewhere else.

It got worse when I started reading. At 4, I learned to read and write in Hebrew. I began to read stories, and I loved the characters so much, I disappeared into their universe. I saw them behaving in everyday life. It was... weird.

See, when an author writes a book, they create a universe. And they see it, and so do people like me. Authors can disappear into their universe. Before the book, to get inspiration. During the book. After the book ends. And so can I.

When I learned to read English and got really, really into it, it got so bad, I needed to find a way to have an internal anchor. I created my own universe. But this was one that calmed me. It was a universe to get back to when I disappeared into another universe. From my universe, I could come back to this one. When I started reading Percy Jackson, I was 8? 7? I could control it better. So when I daydreamed and disappeared, I left an apparition of myself. But I could choose when to disappear. I loved it. I wrote fanfictions in my head of what I had seen. Then, I met others who could travel too. Online. In-person. It was cool. 

I read Magnus Chase. I loved those books. I disappeared a lot more often. I started reading Shadow and Bone. Never got drawn in but I finished the series. Then I read its counterpart, the Six of Crows Doulogy. I absolutely loved it. I learned to set apart time to disappear. I learned to create a persona in different worlds. I could be NatureGirl in my own world. By then, I had created a few. I created Naturain. It was Naturegirl's world. I saved the world multiple times there. I had my calming one. It was amazing. I loved reading the Six of Crows Doulogy. Disappeared a lot. Then I started reading the King of Scars Doulogy. I loved the characters. So I disappeared more. I had it under control. I learned how to utilize it best. It was awesome.

Maybe one day, I'll create a universe anyone can go to. We'll see.

So, that was my tall tale. It was weird, but *shrugs* meh. See you guys soon!
