that’s kind of a tough question; because to realistically thinking there must be a reason of why i would want to run away, or if there isn’t (like perhaps i’m just basically sick in the head and go wild). also, i must have enough cash (or not, i could get a job somewhere). but if i’m being asked that question, well, i could. i just haven’t had that idea in my mind.

if i could run away, i would go.. where natures are. probably an island? just because i love beaches. a home that has a backyard and a whole view of the shore just so i could see it every time i want to. it eases me in the best way possible, calms me, soothes me and give me peace.

a few days ago, i read a thread about how ‘nature can help us heal’ on twitter. i read it to the end and automatically coming to my senses and says “oh, that’s why..” because it’s really true. and it’s very effective and perhaps the simplest and easiest way you could do.

some people may feel or pressured by how they think that they shouldn’t be where they currently at; it may be where you live, where you work, where you study, just basically where they at at the present time. i remember a quote i read from tumblr years ago, and it still stuck in my head until now. it says “if you don’t like where you at, move. you are not a tree.” and that is just… life-changing. sure, there are consequences and risks you’ll get by leaving your comfort zone, but it would also be one of the most memorable thing you could do for yourself. i’ll say it’s a form of bravery and it’s not that easy. it’s also an act of seeking yourself. running away from you are right now would bring you to lots of possibilities and chances you probably won’t get if you stay at the same place. it’s the best way on getting to know yourself. and if you ever regretted it, at least you’re not crying over the same thing at the same damn place.

if any of you needed this; if you’ve been thinking and can not stop, go. just leave. you’ll be okay. you got this! just don’t forget to wear the damn masks.

living life through the city’s owned traffic jam at its best and skyscrapers hitting the polluted sky, but surely trying my best to survive. cheers.
