Run Away
My friend, S. is applying the NYU film school. I am happy for him. There was the requirement that every applicant needed to write the concept of the feature film you wanted to direct for your graduation. He wanted to write something about the memory of his father and his friends in New York. And, he decided to write a road trip movie. I personally like the road trip movie. It's like I went to candyland that I always found some exciting candies unexpected. Friend, M helps him rewrote some part of the scripts. I love what he wrote "No matter how far away we run, it seems we always end up where we started". It's very "Sex and the city".I think it's very true what he said. We always try to run away from someone, something or somewhere. That's the human nature, right? Specially in the big cities, everyone looks for something also they run away from the other thing. Cities gave you the mask. They provide you a shelter and make you feel alone.
I felt like we all ran a lot. I moved from Taiwan to New York. It was 10,000 miles away. Distance made me feel safe from gossip and from high pressure of expection. It was the easiest way to deal with all immature thoughts.
There are many ways to run away from life without actually running, drug or alcohol. Name some of them. Alcohol is an amazing thing. It slows down your mind and reaction. Good or bad. You can avoid things successfully.
I have run from my life. Now, I kind of paid for the price. But, I felt happy I actually start facing them now. It's lot of work but gradually, I do make difference. Therapy does help me a lot.

I believe taking a break instead of running away. Escape from reality once in a while refresh and energize you body and soul, but constantly running away is just not healthy. Glad to hear that u r making some changes, hold on to it!
