People would like to believe that running away is for cowards, for quitters and for the weak. But what do you do when you have had enough, when you make yourself believe you have had enough.
Don't we go for holidays? Don't we take leaves?
We do all this only because we need all this; because we are not robots.
Robots don't run away but that doesn't make them strong. We are humans and humans have feelings. Feelings that sometimes take you down. Force you to run away.
Running away doesn't make you weak if you run away to get back your energies and then return back stronger.
Sometimes we are so occupied with everything in our lives that we forget to run away. We forget that it's an option. An option that helps you regain your spirits. An option that's correct. Life throws at you challenges one after the other, you can't meet all of them. REALISE.
There are days when you should put your phones away, days when you don't talk to anyone, days you just lay alone reading your book or watching back to back movies. Doing NOTHING but being with yourself. Not remembering the project you needed to complete, the deadlines that need to be met. All this wont end, the day will and your life would too.
Over time we start living each moment of our lives for other things. A time then comes when these things accumulate. There is a burden on your head, a force that fits you in a routine, a routine which straight jackets you and you need to be an escape artist to run away.
You might think it's the easiest thing to do. But when you are caught up with so much, it isn't easy. Not one bit. Just when you think that it might be the right time to take a break, some other deadline comes up. What you need to do is run away, RUN without caring about the consequences. There will be lots of time afterwards within your routine to set everything right. Go away to realise your own importance, and to make others realise the same.
Turning of the phone, lying on the bed and watching some slow thoughtful emotional movie like the Mystic River, I feel calmed. The mind feels uncluttered and relaxed. It deserves some times like these. All I can suggest is GO take the plunge to experience for yourself.
"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer. "
