How Can I Escape?

How Can I Escape?

Did you ever have a situation so bad in life that you were just dying to find a way to escape it all? Whether it is a real life situation, like at school, or maybe it is just someone you know who is being a real bummer, it's only natural to want to escape. Don't fight your instincts. Always use your head when dealing with life's challenges, and remember that it is the best possible choice to just escape. Living life is hard enough if you try to face your  problems head on. Make it easier on yourself by using your awesome escapist powers, my friends. There's tons of ways we can use what we have learned in everyday situations, but, remember, don't tell them you are Luke Skywalker or Captain Marvel, okay? You could, though. You might make them laugh or even impress them with your imitations. Remember, think before you act, always, okay?

Take bullies at school, for example. They thrive off of hate and anger. They are the incarnation of the dark side of the force and you know it. They want nothing more than for you to respond to their childish taunts and tortures. You have to find a way out of it, and often we need to just leave the situation. You are probably asking me right now, "How do I escape from bullies when they trap me?" Okay, so I know what you are thinking ahead of time. The only thing you can do to stop bullying is to be creative in how you escape them. Please don't hate me for saying this, but have you tried running away, like towards a teacher of someone (or something, like a security camera,) that can be a witness for you? If we are being bullied, violence is not the answer. You need to use your mind against them and that must mean that you let someone who can handle it take care of the problem. That means a teacher or principal, or if you get into a really bad situation, someone who can call the police for you. I will tell you something, though. A lot of the cops are lazy or simply do not care in America and they won't be of any help to you. I will say you are in an uphill battle at this point. You need to talk to your parents if this is the case and maybe ask them if it would be okay if you switch schools. I know leaving your friends and school may be hard, but they can still call you on the phone and come to your house to hang out, right? Things will be okay, I promise.

Escapism was designed for people like you and me. I'm not some hero, but instead a girl who writes so maybe that I can impart something that I have learned to you. I don't want you to suffer like I have. Escapism is a life pattern that was made to help people feel better about who they are. Does Bill Gates or John Cena need to pretend to be someone else to feel better about themselves? Absolutely not! They get all the money and all of the fame they could ever dream of. They have what we don't have. Does that make us losers? I don't think so. I seriously think we are just misunderstood, nothing else. I bet you are hella smart if you are seeking information to your problems on a blog over the internet. (I do the same thing, too. I always appreciate what other people have to write. I find all sorts of answers to my issues. Yes, boys and girls, it sucks being me, and quite honestly, I hate it. Helping you is what I want to do. It's one of the few things that makes me feel better about myself.) You can take anything you want from escapism, but, like I always say, it is all about what you put into it, just like anything else in life. We aren't people who create problems, like those dreaded bullies, but instead those who use our beautiful minds to seek solutions to life's incredible amount of nightmares. Life can only be like two things to you, and you know very rarely is it ever a dream. You have to be a dreamer yourself if you want to keep positive in life's ongoing nightmare. We are not someone who was meant to suffer but in this evolving world there are few heroes to save the day, so it's up for you to imagine yourself as one.

We need to stick together in life to think clearly. Friends help when you're in trouble, and I'm sorry if you have had issues making friends, like I have. I'll always be here for you, daily, unless life gets crazy for me, which it often does. It's bad to say this, ha ha, but the other C will back you up when I feel bummed out or have to go out. I'm sorry I was absent for a day, so, please, forgive me. I wish I could beat up those bullies for you, but that's not really legal. As for escapism, I'll always give you the lowdown on kicking it with the world of make believe, rest assured. Until next time, keep it real.
