What is Reality?
Reality is everything we experience and reflect upon—moments big and small, familiar and extraordinary. Reality TV captures life’s diverse journeys: love and heartbreak, triumphs and trials, dreams and setbacks. It transports us to exotic places, elite homes, bustling kitchens, school halls, and even our own neighborhoods. In embracing reality, these stories remind us of the beauty in the everyday and the power of shared experiences.
