In the real world, you can't just turn a page and feel better.
The quote from Jodi Picoult's "Off the Page" emphasizes the challenges of real-life situations, suggesting that healing or resolution doesn't come easily or instantaneously, as it might in a book. Unlike fictional narratives where emotions and conflicts can be neatly resolved with the turn of a page, real life requires patience and effort to overcome obstacles.
This perspective highlights the complexity of human experiences. It reminds us that while stories can offer insights and comfort, they often simplify the struggles we face. True change takes time and action, and one must engage deeply with their circumstances rather than expecting a quick fix.
