Meaning of the quote
When you play, whether it's a game, a sport, or an instrument, it can take you to a special place where you feel excited and free. You forget about your everyday worries and just focus on what you're doing. It's like you're in a different world, and you feel energized and happy. Playing allows you to step outside of your normal thoughts and experiences, and it can be a really enjoyable and refreshing way to spend your time.
