escapism

escapism. something that still astound me till today. running away.

why do people like to live in a world of escapism. drowning their hearts and souls in sorrow. living in a facade or belief that they will wake up stronger and better. reliving their short moments or spurts of perceived happiness. only to be overwhelmed by a chronic migraine the next day.

why do people like to say things that they do not mean. to hurt others that they do not wish to. to run away when they do not need to. someone said it was because they are insecured. to live through the pain again is not something their hearts can take.

but everyone has a choice. why deny yours.

indulging in escapism is not living at all. not to me as least.

be happy. be bold. love others like how you like to be loved.

close your eyes. take a deep breath. feel the tenderness as the wind flirts with your lips.

hide no more. smile.
