Where can you run to escape from yourself?

I read. It's true you know, reading takes you to a different place and even to a different time.

I believe that it is possible that what you are wanting to escape from is "stuff" in your personality, your psyche, that has been "installed" by influences from society.
In other words, in a way, you are not all you.
This process starts when you're an infant, and continues through pre-school years, schools, parents, peers, until adulthood.

A very good explanation for how this all works is contained in the first chapter of an odd sounding book, "Exploring the Crack in the Cosmic Egg", by Joseph Chilton Pearce. He is a very grounded, down to earth, yet perceptive writer. This first chapter is so explanatory, that it will clear up questions as to why your life is often empty feeling and frustrating.
There is no voodoo, no Dr. Feelgood, no "program" to buy, just a simple answer.
The film, "The Matrix", contains, or is, a heavy handed metaphor for all this.
Your essential self gets somewhat suppressed, and so you feel empty.

Decades ago, when I was recovering from alcoholism, my counselor told me that I wasn't drinking to escape, I was drinking to save something............

No place. However, I can distract myself lol. I do that with music, writing, movies, and I also like walking.

I live right next to the woods so I go there and climb a really high tree and smoke. It's nice.

Computer games, YouTube, college or sleep :) All of those distract me from...me XD

In a book. They are wonderful ways to escape, they can take you places without ever having to open the front door. And that's really good if you don't have any money to travel. 📖
