THE ECSTASY OF ESCAPISM
The ultimate high isn’t reaching the destination.
It’s the moment you realize
you are finally untouchable.
Escapism gets treated like weakness.
Like avoidance.
Like failure.
But sometimes
escaping is the closest thing to peace.
There’s a specific feeling that happens when the world behind you starts dissolving.
The deadlines.
The expectations.
The version of yourself everyone keeps asking for.
Gone quiet.
And for one brief moment
nothing can reach you.
Not your responsibilities.
Not your history.
Not even your own thoughts.
You exist in suspension.
Between places.
Between identities.
Between the person you were and whoever comes next.
That’s the real addiction.
Not the destination.
Not the fantasy.
The feeling of finally slipping out of the grip of your own life.
We think escapism means wanting a different future.
Sometimes it just means wanting silence.
Wanting distance.
Wanting one moment where you are no longer required to be anyone at all.
You are not found.
You are not lost.
You are simply somewhere else.
The Gulf by Adam De Souza. Tundra, 2024. 9781774880753. 236pp.
2007, British Columbia. At the end of high school, Olivia runs away to join The Evergreen Community, a commune, to try to escape the meaninglessness of attending university and getting a job. (Olivia is also trying to escape a friendship/romance gone bad that ended with her punching a young man in a school hallway and losing everything she needed for the trip.) Milo is going along; he's brought a video camera to document everything and to try to capture images of the sea-ape (think bigfoot). And Milo has invited the nerdy Alvin, though Alvin doesn't know about the commune or Milo's romantic interest in him.
The pages are oversized, which made me fall for De Souza's art, particularly the way he drew the forests and the ferry ride. (I grew up in Seattle, and this book looks like home.) Oli seems a bit oblivious as to how worried her mother might be about her, and a few kind adults help the trio even though Oli isn't quite eighteen. There's drama (but not survival drama) as the three find the commune (it's not what they expect) and try to figure out their next steps. For certain young people, this will be the ultimate graduation present; for me it was a great reminder of road trips I took as a young adult, and of all the friends who went on them with me.
Spoiler warning for Gravity Falls [Content warning: mild claustrophobia, mild abduction, mild violence] {Clarification, this is a Gravity Falls edit with music from Infinity Train} {Further Clarification, this has nothing to do with the magnetic public transit "infinity train"} Show: Gravity Falls Music: "Running Away - Extended" from the soundtrack of Infinity Train. Personal Project
Side note: Some of the footage may appear sped up as back when I originally made this edit I had far less storage space and needed to record things in twice the speed then manually slow them down to preserve as much space as I could. Sorry!
Buddys went ghost hunting but saw something more terrifying than a ghost. Wonder what it could be??

Two old cops with one long day away from retirement going on one last case. This going to be one wild ride.
I tried running from my problems, but they just keep following me.
Fear of commitment
Is there anyone who has this fear of commitment? You want to be in a relationship but as soon as someone shows interest, you run away or sabotage your relationship with that person? Even if you try and take a step further, you create all these walls that would stop the other person from getting in. Has anyone ever felt that way? How many times have you told yourself that next time it will be better, maybe this person was not ‘the one’ and only to see yourself in that same vicious cycle again?
Is there any way out? Is there any hope? How do you get out of it? How do you not hurt yourself and others?
