let's get away from it all.

that's what i say when i really fancy a break. then, i set out to find an escape route. i try traveling to the four corners of the world in an attempt to leave my problems behind me. or i bury myself in my favorite books or movies. sometimes i try going out, sometimes i try staying in. i may try to drink away my worries and my cares. sometimes i seek solace in other self-destructive vices. none of it, though, affords me any more than a temporary respite. my difficulties are like my shadows. they go wherever i go.

maybe the only way to get rid of them, is to face them and accept them.
