I think the people who really get through this life and even seem to have fun in it are just really good escapists.
I escaped tonight a lot. Escaped through cooking dinner, watching television, making dessert and watching more television. The Roast of James Franco was pretty funny. I’d recommend it. And salmon’s supposed to be good for brain health. I swear the one week I ate it 3 times that week I felt overall better. Just a sense of wellness I couldn’t explain and I definitely think it had something to do with salmon. If life felt like this more often I’d totally want to live.

Escape from reality, into reality.
I like it. 🙂
escape from self
For me, distractions help for the moment….but in the end all they are …. is distractions….They do nothing to help with my situation and circumstances and feelings…..all they do is remove my attention off them for a few moments….
The group you mentioned in the beginning seem to escape mentally and physically from the things that really are out of their control. And there are many things like that out there..
Lol good point lorax didn’t even realize the things I listed were just every day things. They just felt nice I guess on that particular day. Pain —> I agree, though sometimes they are just enough for that moment, but I know the feeling of your problems still being in the back of your mind ready to creep back up and steal any sense of wellness you had for a second.
Yeah, lost sometimes I wish I was better at escaping. I just know it’s an escape so I don’t let myself go with it.
I think the key isn’t so much escaping reality as it is escaping one’s typical frame of reference for understanding reality – it’s like a little break from the ordinary to peek through the clouds at what else is out there. Like a glimpse into how children see the world or something – all unfiltered and undefined. 🙂
