Sigh, what I wouldn’t give to escape my problems. Like, if I were a billionaire able to fly into space, far. I’d be so grateful to finally escape all the obstacles I face here on Earth. It’d be worth the thousands, nay millions, necessary to get away from it all. There’s just one problem with that. After paying all of that to escape, I would take the trip. Maybe, my problems would be left behind, but I, me, would still be there along for the ride.
Any time I have had the brilliant idea of running (sometimes literally) away from the problem, I have had to sit with the truth that I am the common denominator. I could leave that job, friendship, relationship, neighborhood, or even world. But if I don’t fix things at my core, I will never find a truly satisfying escape from my problems. Leaving isn’t the solution if I keep bringing all of the key pieces of the problem with me.
No matter how far I go, I can’t leave myself behind.
