No matter where you are in the world, everyone has a place where we can go to escape reality. For some people it's on top of there roof, for others, it's that park down the street from your house or that lake behind your neighborhood. We sit there in awe at how beautiful the environment is, it's enough to make us reminisce on the last time we laughed so hard we cried. It's enough to make us relax a little bit, this place for me is the beach.

I'll never forget one of the very first times that my best friend and I at the time went to my "escape home." We were both so stressed that day but the sky was so clear up there it always made us forget about everything that happened that day.

What's your escape home? I asked a friend this question and he told me when he was a kid his dad took him out to the woods every day to go fishing. Sometimes they would just sit out there to go talk. He still goes out there to this day to just sit out there and think about what's going on in his life.

Nowadays the idea of us just going out somewhere to relax is becoming less and less common, we get so caught up on school or our jobs we use things like alcohol or drugs to escape. Then we take so much for granted when we have a lot of free time as a kid then as we get older "recess" gets shorter and shorter. It's the small things like a place just go sit for a few hours that really matter in life.

Now after reading this, I encourage you to go and find your escape home. Relax for a minute. Thanks for reading.
