.. sometimes in life

Sometimes in life you need to run away from the world, run away from everything so you don't break. You can't change people, things are the way they are, and all you can do is step back and let things calm down inside you. Even muddled water takes time to turn into bonanza. You too need time and solitude to come to your senses and realize that you cannot get far with the expectations you have now and that they are costing you more than anything else in the world. Run away from the world once in a while to sort yourself out, to sort out your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, expectations and you come to your own. Run away so you don't give up on your dreams, but just to come to your senses for a moment and realize that giving up doesn't lead anywhere, that the struggles you're fighting have no meaning and that the only thing you can do is to sort things out first and then get out of yourself and see what's going on can do that. There is no point in swallowing injustice, suffering disrespect, accepting being ignored, allowing shame, all this will leave a big mark on you. Stop being everything to everyone, proving yourself to everyone you meet, pumping up your ego with whatever you can because sooner or later it will all pay off. Once you step on your values, it's easier for you to do it every next time, and then after a while you realize that the life you are living is no longer yours and that you are no longer the same as you were. Sometimes in life you need to escape from the world and realize that it is worth nothing to you that everyone is on your side if you have crossed over to the other side where you no longer find yourself or feel yourself. There are many wounds that cannot be seen and are more real than the ones you can touch and never allow yourself to be the one who adds salt to those wounds. Come to yourself and then get back in the ring, come back and show who and what you are, show that you know what your goal is and leave the unimportant things to the unimportant.
