Real life

Common card · No. 293786

Real life is a phrase used originally in literature to distinguish between the real world and fictional, virtual or idealized worlds, and in acting to distinguish between actors and the characters they portray. It may also be called reality. It has become a common term on the internet to describe events, people, activities, and interactions occurring offline, or otherwise not primarily through the medium of the internet. It is also used as a metaphor to distinguish life in a vocational setting as opposed to an academic one, or adulthood and the adult world as opposed to childhood or adolescence.
