How to use "Make-believe" in context?
Being imaginative has long been considered a talent. It has been said that if it weren't for the creative minds of children, society would be a much duller place. Adults may be able to come up with ideas or come up with solutions to problems, but children are natural storytellers. They are able to take familiar scenarios and weave them into new, exciting stories.
Making up stories is often considered an important part of growing up. It's a way to escape the realities of the world and live in a virtual world where anything is possible. For some, it's a way to deal with the stresses of life.
