Do They Collide?

Tomorrow cannot possibly come soon enough to satisfy my need for escape.

Heaven By Comparison

I miss my little (quiet, neat, comfortable, familiar, non-insane) holiday shop.

Escape!

When work gets stressful and the drama gets to be too much, it is nice to have an eventual out planned.

I'm Feeling Like A Lost Cause

I came to the coffee shop because I couldn't stand to be alone in the house that is always too small but now is far too large, but now that I am surrounded by people I realize that the one person I cannot escape from is me.

Sad But True

I am actually looking forward to being responsible for all of my expenses come my birthday this year because it means that I will finally be able to leave my mother behind.

My Escape Route

I just want to curl up in my chair and read and read and read until I cease to exist.

The Sky Is A-Ready To Burst

Every time I think that I've gotten everything under (my) control and I am ready to take the much-needed snip to my financial connection to my parents (and thusly neutralizing their pressuring chip) something happens that would make it dreadfully difficult if not outright impossible to do so.

There Comes A Time In A Young Woman's Life When She Must Cast Away Books And Learn From Experience

I wish to experience all the wonderful things that I've read about; see all of the unimaginable beauty, do all of the fantastic acts, and simply enjoy breathing the air around me.

Just Because You Don't Want It To Be True Doesn't Make It So

The Yangtze River Dolphin may very well be extinct now because of the senseless destruction humans seem to spawn everywhere they roam and I cannot help but hope that they have secretly escaped their fate, even as I mourn their passing.

Watching Waiting Rising Falling Listening Calling Drifting

Watching him play from my little mentally-walled-off part of the bar, I can actually relax enough to enjoy the show.

We Only Come Out At Night

I'd love to climb up a mountain and lie on my back under the stars, gazing up into eternity.

My Secret Garden

I'm going to grow beautiful plants and make a peaceful garden filled with life and stone walkways and ivy covered arches and no one can stop me!

Dream A Sweet Dream For Me

I found my glass pen today while cleaning and I suddenly wished for beautiful words to commit to paper while sitting under a shady tree with a cat curled up at my feet.

It Seems That Silence In This Modern Age Is So Very Hard To Find

I wrap myself in thoughts until they smother me.

Escape Is Imminent

Sometimes I feel that my soul or consciousness or what have you is not very well attached to this moral coil and may break free at any moment.
