Sometimes we’d all love to get away. To get up and leave everybody who we love, just for a little while. To run away to a place where the world ceases to exist. Where deadlines, exams, people’s questions, they just all stop for a little while. A place to collect your thoughts. A place that is exactly what you need, when you’re not even sure what it is that you need.
A place where all the voices in your head, the voices that take the shape of the many demanding, needy people in our lives, a place where all these voices just pause. Just for a moment. Because sometimes all we need is a moment. A moment to remember who we are and why we’re doing what we’re doing. A moment to bring us back to ourselves. Just a moment.
Sometimes we all need a place where deadlines and homework’s, research projects, rehearsals, magazine deadlines, a place where none of this exists. A place where it all just stops. For a moment.
A place where silence is the only noise you hear, because at this point, that’s what your life has degenerated into. Just noise. The sounds are no long differentiating themselves from each other. They all sound the same. You’ve forgotten the difference between words. You don’t recognise speech. It’s all just gone on to that space in your head that says “make sense of later. Can’t deal with now”
(And don’t lie. We all have a space like that)
Sometimes we all need a place to escape too. But it seems that all of the time, this is impossible. We can’t get up and leave our everyday lives with no contact. We can’t lock ourselves away. It seems that those moments to ourselves are all too rare. All too fleeting. All too non-existing.
So we take a breath.
Stay strong.
Keep going.

it's so hard to do this though. to take that deep breath and move on. i find myself thinking about those things that i would put off until later and i almost have a breakdown. i get so overwhelmed by it all...it's hard to not want to run away for real and stay away until you feel sane again.
