Back to fantasy

I'm back to New England after spending a week in Michigan with my family. The first thing i thought of was that saying "back to reality" that people say when they have to stop doing something they are enjoying. It's like they have accepted defeat. Like its not possible to somehow find a way to live your life forever in this "fantasy" they visit before returning back to "reality". Or maybe im just living in a fantasy world? where happiness comes first.
