I’m not sure I actively seek to address the actual issues, or I use strategies to escape those issues. Either intent, the go-to is the same, I tend to return to my external, more physical and sensory enjoyments...but, in a detached way, internal way. I might go to my favorite spot on the beach and sit there alone, maybe watch other people on the beach, but I’m never really all that active in the environment I seek out. I can’t say for sure if I pursue these tried and true methods, which seemingly tap into a part of my mind that has the ability to calm and slow it for a minute, a sort of meditation, in order to sit with those feelings and to ponder them more...or is it just simply escape by means of temporarily wiping my slate clean until the next time my inner, emotional balance becomes disturbed? Maybe it’s both.
