Escape


Seeking an escape shouldn't have to mean that you're trapped. In my eyes, it should be sought every day. 

Nothing dramatic included; I mean the simplest of escapes that are hidden throughout our day but we're usually "too busy" to even notice them, or decide that we don't deserve to fit them in for ourselves because there are so many other things we "should be doing." 

I escaped to the beach yesterday. I sat still on the sand and quieted my thoughts for the first time in . . . .

An escape from your thoughts is definitely not easy to attain, completely underrated, and (absolutely unofficially) essential for some mental health/clarity. 

It's an amazing escape from the stress, worries, and daily polluted thoughts of anger, jealousy, want, need, and frustration. 

I'm no expert, but I can pretty much promise you that your to-do list won't go anywhere. 

The urgency of all the things you "have to do today," can, more likely than not, be rescheduled for tomorrow. 

Oh... and your phone? It has voicemail. Let it work for you sometimes. Go crazy, and leave it home for the day. It's like forgetting an appendage, but it's a liberating feeling.

So why not escape today? It's the perfect day for it. 

The best way out, is always through.
