What do you think about when you imagine a place where you can escape? Do you imagine an island in the middle of nowhere, with palm trees and sand all around you, and nothing to hear but the silence that surrounds you? Or do you imagine going to a place with no name, a place where you cannot stay, a place that is no place, just nowhere going in nothingness? What brings you peace? What do you think about when you no longer feel like being where you are? What brings you to that state of mind where you cannot longer feel anxiety or trouble? Where is that place that brings you peace?
Life can be so ironic. I assure you that whatever brought you peace a while ago is not the same that calms you today. For who would’ve thought that what perturbed my mind yesterday is what brings me happiness today?
Just the thought of it when I feel troubled gets me in a hopeful mood where I can make it work because there are big things worth fighting for…
I think of my past, my family, my friends, my culture, my places, and they soothe me, and so ungratefully, I didn’t want to be there! I fought to go away and now they’re my escape: the true place where no lies exist, where everything is right and sincere.
My escape is to go back, remember my true self and go fight the world again. Recover all the strength I lost by remembering my best times, the best people, and the best places that I can create.
