Have you ever thought about escaping all reality and wanted to get away from everything without a reason? Maybe go and explore places that you have always wanted to go without someone chirping at you every two seconds on the phone or getting nonstop text messages on your messenger. I have been getting that feeling lately. What would the consequences of disappearing for a few weeks?
Just imagine having no places to be, no obligations, or people to please, and have complete freedom as to what you want to do. I feel like I have gotten into many holes that only time will fix and will help fill them back in, so what would it hurt to disappear and come back when its all sorted out?
There’s one song that has sparked these thoughts upon me, it’s called “Vienna” by The Fray. The first part of the song reads:
The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in
We smile for the casual closure capturing
There goes the downpour
There goes my fare thee well
There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
'Cause I'm already gone
I would be gone from reality and be able to redo my current status. It would be so easy. I could live a complete new life and be who I want to be.
I wish it were this easy. When I wake from daydreaming about this perfect plan, reality is smacked straight back into my face. I guess I am going through these times for a purpose and I am meant to be here. I guess Australia can wait, because I have an obligation to my college, my team, my fellowship, my friends, my family. I cannot escape and disappear because people are counting on me. I wish I could shut off my phone and be nonexistent and get away from all the stresses of the world.
No I am not depressed or becoming emo. I am simply thinking about different angles to life that one can take. This is simply “food for thought.” Now go be all that you can be and maybe one day your time will come where you can get away from all the stresses of the world. Please, just keep plugging away and fulfilling your life’s mission here on earth. God has you at this specific place in your life for a reason, now it’s up to you to do something!
