We try to escape from ourselves. We travel in the hope of getting rejuvenated. A byproduct of start seeing the world from a different perspective.
In reality, we are cluttered with our thoughts. We carry it with us in spite of traveling and running away from reality.
We cannot escape the cluttered mind of ours. We need to accept the reality and live with it. There is no escape from it.
Imagine locking yourself up for a few days without interacting with the world, sitting silently and doing nothing. That is when you will get to know yourself better. That is how you will get closer to yourself. That is when you don’t need to escape.
