Escape

Sometimes it all gets too much. Whether that is stress at school, stress at home, problems with friends, or internal issues like mental health or self-confidence - they can all become overwhelming.

I often find myself in the state of wanting to escape. Wanting to fly across the world away from all of my problems, lie on a beach in the summer heat and relax. But unfortunately this isn't as easy as you'd hope.

Or I could get in a car and drive and drive and drive along beautiful roads with the sun shining and music blasting. But having passed my test only a week ago, this isn't hugely possible.

The question is what to do then.

I don't have a solution, only thoughts. I talk to myself like a friend or parent or even counsellor would talk to me. This is because I know they'd say what I need to do is:

- Plan something to look forward to
- Do something that relaxes me
- Spend time with my friends
- Do something I enjoy.
- Yoga or meditation

But sometimes these all feel impossible.

So how can I escape.
