Escapism
Did you miss me?
Good ole escapism, the classic game of cat and mouse. No matter how far you go, no matter how much you smile, your problems will find you. Not because life has a way of chasing you down, but because life is challenging you. That’s how we live, that’s how we grow, that is how we figure out what defines us.
I haven’t been trying to run away from anything though, I’ve been trying to run towards it. I’ve been trying to use escapism to understand parts of myself and how the world works. I thought extending myself across the planet would allow me to discover new people and places, and if most definitely did, but I found out something else. I didn’t need the whole world to discover myself, to redefine, or create new, I just needed the willingness to try.
I will say this though, there’s no better place to forge a new person though than the road. I could have done it at home, but those grooves have already been worn. Hard to—escape. On the road, you find out something new about yourself everyday. And for me, I needed the freedom from constraint. Everyday is a new day.
Incroyable
A Little escapism content from the other day I never posted.
Where I should have surfed today. Amal waves, long paddle, but NO CROWD. Would have been worth it 😪
Click click. Getting film and my haircut is always a way to explore just regular people doing stuff in towns.
A Little taste of Taiwan 🇹🇼😘
Quick complaint: many countries like Indonesia in SEA and even Europe for that matter want you to use cash constantly, but no one has change. No one. Everyone always expects you to have it but no one will give it to you. Literally you can’t pay sometimes WITH MONEY.
WHY DONT THEY ISSUE MORE SMALL MONEY?!? I’m starting a movement.
I’ve gotta say, Indo has peaked my interest in touristy things again because this stuff is wicked!
And sublime.
I had to run through this place because I was late for my show, but I want to know about how they cut these walls! So cool.
There was a story here I read and forgot already.
Now that is escapism!
Everyone is riding something in this religion/history/country. 🏄 🏍️ 👹
There. I don’t even have to relate the story.
See, photography is easy. Idek why I try.

Coolest thing I’ve experienced in a while.
Someone doesn’t belong.
Surf diet is to eat as much as possible. Burgers have been the main staple these last few days.
The thing about escapism, I honestly think it can be good. It’s a rest for the mind and soul from the corporate version of life: eat, sleep, work, repeat. We break open and feel that breath of fresh air. But for me, where I’m at in life? I think it’s time to face the music. Theres more songs to dance to, to scream to, to cry to, to love to. I think I’m ready for the next dance.
