Escape, running away, hiding, moving out.

We are all driven to do this at some point in our lives. But sometimes we never realize that we are actually running away from our greatest enemy, ourselves. It follows us everywhere and we can never hide from it.

Before escaping into the ‘better’ unknown, face your darkest shadow self first. Fight it. Conquer it. Accept it. Love it. Make peace with it. Deal with your own issues and then move on. Light up yourself from within and look deep into that self you’ve been hiding from.

Instead of you running away, that shadow will.
