Runaway

I’ve always heard so many people say “I want to run away and start over new somewhere where no one knows my name or anything about me”. And I always wondered why people would want that, because running away from your problems doesn’t solve them. They follow you no matter where you go. But what if you never came back? What if you went somewhere, started a new life, became a new person, and just let it all gently fade away? Would it work? Would it be worth the risk? There’s always the chance that whatever you run away from could follow you, but what if it doesn’t? What if you had the chance to run away from whatever’s hurting you and it wouldn’t follow you because frankly it doesn’t give a shit and you could just finally live again without worrying? If that were the case I’d run away now. When there’s no end in sight, make one. Right? If there’s no way to solve the problem then why stick around being pained by it? If you can’t find an escape, make your own.
