getting away...

the thing about vacation is that we can never fully be in that state of mind and we can never fully escape it either. in life- we always say that we have to get away from our current situation but the fact is is that once we are away- all we want to do is return. but then once we return- things are not the same anymore- you have to again reach the state of equilibrium. so maybe- in its own light- maybe vacation and getting away is not all that it is cracked up to be- does it possibly cause more problems than it prevents? because the term of getting away could also be used in the form of running away from our problems- which we should never do. we should always face and battle them with a fierceness. yes- i think vacation can be a very soothing and relaxing time, but i also think that for us to be happy anywhere else- we must first be happy with our present situation, because no matter where we go- we can never escape life. oh we may try our hardest to escape our life and problems and we may even forget about them for a period or two, but they will always be there when you get back- unchanged and maybe even worse. so my words of advice to you who may read- fix your problems and worries now- don't try to run away from them, forget them, or wait for them to get fixed on their own- deal with them while you still have a chance. but in light of the holiday today i say- relax, because no matter what our current situation in life is- we always need relaxation...
