I once knew and loved someone that thought escaping and running away would make them happy, would take away their pain. In some cases it might, but sometimes you just have to shift your focus.
One day I came upon a part of a quote that really spoke to me about this situation:
"Not seeking new landscapes but having new eyes."
We are all in a tough situation right now, globally. There is no escaping, but somehow we have to see things with new eyes so that we can find hope and cope with the hard times that are these. There are so many beautiful things happening right in front of us. Let's see them.
