Welcome to a tour of my blogs written for the A-Z challenge.
Today is April 20th and the Reliable letter R
Running away in my mind
Written about two years ago
Escaping reality
the chores and the mundanities
of daily life.
Running away in my mind.
I sit with my computer
tapping away on keys
writing
commenting
chatting
with on line friends I will never meet.
Yet they are more true to me than the “friends”
in the “real” world”
more intimate
more interesting
more humourous
running away in my mind.
Maybe I am insane
forsaking spouse, home and parent
to, instead, rumble around in my head
bringing out appetizers and full course
meals, composed of words.
The process is very meditative-like
it resolves internal issues
I did even know existed
as the words literally
bleed out on the screen
cleansing my brain.
Forced to think and create
releasing in its own way
restful and exhausting, both
running away in my mind
or
maybe
just
liberating it ?

Have you ever wanted to run away (since you’ve been an adult lol) either figuratively or literally?
Really Reading your R posts

Only I can’t run any more…more like an amble these days! I’ve always said it I ran away it would be to Montana–lots of wide open spaces to get lost in. 🙂 Nice post!
I met my wife online, and most of my people I now consider my best friends I originally met online and didn’t physically meet for many years, whereas many people who I used to spend a lot of time around pretty much forgot I existed the minute I moved away (yes, I’ve tried to keep in touch). So, running toward reality for me. 🙂
Yes, I’ve often felt like running away. I think the more responsible we are, the further we are from true freedom and the more we dream about taking flight. You’ll often find me “running away in mind.” <==Love that!

I LIKE it! I admire anyone who has time and energy for the A to Z challenge BTW. I’m always tempted and then I think, but can I really juggle that on top of everything else??? Maybe next year!
You’re good! Lots of people feel this way at one time or another.
This resonates with me and most likely many other creative people. Well done.
Lovely poem. I want to run away on a daily basis. 😀 Can’t but I CAN write about people who manage it.
try using the address formatting and it sometimes works 🙂
