how much can we endure?

[hollowlies]

I escape because I can only read so much, I can only sit here and think so much. I have nothing else to fall back on, so I use escapism as a means of avoidance. The reality that I have created or at least that exists is not one that I can rationalize. I can make great excuses and large speeches about humanity and the depravity of it all but I am

you just can't escape yourself.
I, personally, find it impossible.
wherever you go (literally and figuratively), you take all of you for the ride.

and so, why not a change of scenery?
move somewhere new. get the fuck out of detroit.
a clean slate. somewhere refreshing.
just a thought.

you have the ability

You can't just keep running....you get tired after a while....I got tired. You and you alone have the ability to change your exsistance. It doesn't matter how many books you read, how many ap classes you take, how many degrees you get.....it has to come from inside. From that little place deep down in there that is the true YOU! That place that is truly free from all of the outside influences. It's there and sometimes it takes a very long time and a lot of heartbreak to find it...but I can tell you that digging through the shit (your own shit) is well worth the life that is possible once you've found IT!
I know we aren't great friends and at times have not been fond of eachother but I do wish the best for you and I deeply hope that one of these days you are able to find your own IT!
You dont need a change of scenery you need some fucking construction work done.....get out your damn jack hammer!

everybody wants out of something
detroit and michigan is depressing and i seriously think the lack of sun is making people feel physically wound up with no where to go

so....

the spring is coming and the chi will flow a bit more easier

it wasnt always like this
so dont make it feel so concrete

I am myself a devoted reader and like to spend much of my time reading, sometimes I would even rather stay home and read then go out.
Sometimes I feel the same way as you, cut off from reality and living in a bubble-world of my own, which I actually like. Not that it doesn't have a price, it can get very depressing sometimes, finding out you're doing too much of what ohters would call nothing. But then, you KNOW your reading is not nothing, and is more mind opening & enlightening than many other things you find dull, which is indeed so. It is better to be exceptional than boring, even if being exceptional involves some suffering of the soul. The real problem is to find the path that keeps you in both worlds.
