Escape (4)

What’s yours?

I mean, everybody once in a while wants to escape reality, right? But we can’t always due it or fly to wherever it is we want to go, so how due you turn your mundane world into your escape?

For me, I choose books, movies, and games. Basically, I get lost in entertainment. I get lost in somebody else’s life so I don’t have to deal with mine. Sometimes, it’s not even a necessary escape for me; sometimes… well, it’s entertaining.

Lately, I feel that I’ve had the need to read more, to watch more, to get lost more. I know it’s not the greatest defense to deal with my problems, but it helps me stay calm. It helps me find my own way to cope.

Is there a chance you could ever get so lost, you can’t get back out again? I don’t know really… maybe it depends on the escape, right? My escapes aren’t that damaging to life, or at least I think so. But other people have different escapes, may it be drugs, alcohol, thrill-seeking, etc. So for those people, how do they know when it’s time to stop faking and time to start dealing? How does anyone know? Do you wait for it to get that bad?

I don’t know really. If you haven’t realized by now, I like to pose questions that have many answers, some of which are clear and some of which are not. But, that’s life right? Sometimes it’s clear and fun and other times it’s all muddled up with shit. Oh well, deal we shall.
