I like the idea of volleyball,
Getting the ball over the large and far net,
Crowds cheering for your team,
Running and diving down to the ground to save your team.
The reality of volleyball is,
Bruises all over your legs and body,
Sore wrists and thumbs,
Aching muscles the next hour or more.
I like the idea of cooking,
Soft dough sliding in between your fingers,
Adding ingredients with other,
Spreading icing on your desert,
Eating the extras of the dough for laughs.
The reality of cooking is,
Dirty counters and tables waiting to get cleaned up,
Dirty dishes in the sink in need of washing,
Messy ingredients on your clothing that you need to get washed,
Impatiently waiting for that oven to beep to eat that delicious food of yours that you have made.
The idea is way better than the truth, what ive said in this post are just examples.
There are a lot more that I can name but those two are my main two ideas I could think of.
