I want to separate this from my post about what cools you off because its not always that we're angry or upset that we feel like running away. Stay posted for a follow-up to this question as well.
Transcendence. Isolation. Maybe just simple happiness. How do you escape the hum-drum, the noise, the daily routine? Maybe you're at the point where you've made it your daily routine! Do you dance, do you drink, or huff DMT at sunset? Hit the bench or the yoga mat, take your hubby on a dinner date?
How do you escape? What does escaping mean to you?
To keep things interesting, this will be my last post regarding reactions to reality. As we move forward, don't forget to follow #vaguequestionsbypablo for near-daily questions to bring Hubski together. Equivocacy guaranteed!
As a secondary part to my comment on your other thread I'll post here. So how do I escape? I like to put on some headphones and go delve into video games or anime usually. Sometimes I'll pick up a TV show, but not often. Select the world I want to visit, then hit "play". Instant immersion into a better place. If I don't like it, I can easily switch.
As you can see by My Anime List I have about 11 different anime "worlds" I visit on a weekly basis. 6 of which I visit with a club, 5 of which I'm watching alone. And as you can see by my "completed" list, I've been doing this for a while.
My games list is so big I don't bother keeping track of it.
But it's getting boring. I know it ends, and that kind of defeats the purpose. Once it ends, I just move on to the next one like a media devouring machine. I have no one who likes the same things I do, so i can't discuss or talk about my interests at all. Most of the time in "life" I just keep quiet and too myself.
I've tried reaching out, but people make it apparent they don't want to talk. And thus repeats the self-defeating cycle of devouring anime and games.
