Where Is Your Escape Place?

As time has gone on and as I have grown up, I have found that sometimes I need to go somewhere to clear my head and find a certain balance again. I call this my escape place! Now some of you might be wondering isn't that kind of the same thing as a happy place.... NO! Well at least not for me because my happy place is at the beach and if I had to drive 2 hours to go to my escape place, I would just probably move there at that point (but believe me I already want to do that). But for me my escape place is somewhere nearby that I can go to for maybe an hour and look around and clear my mind.

Now this might sound weird or stupid to some people (and I will explain why I go here) but my escape place is at the Observation Park at the RDU Airport. I'll explain why now. When I was growing up my mom and Mimi would always take me to this park and I would sit there and watch the airplanes take off and just be completely amazed at what was going on. I would also go play on the playground they have there and pretend I was an airplane. But as I have grown up I have found that going there and watching people come and go is really soothing to me and really helps me just clear my head!

Why is this my Escape Place?

It's hard to put into words why this is my escape place but I really think it is because it goes back to my childhood and everything that that place holds for me and all the memories that I have there. Being there and watching the airplanes take off and land makes me think of the people on those planes as well as what I want to do later in life, like traveling and seeing the world.

Why do I have an Escape Place?

There are always times where I just need to separate myself from everything and get away and think about myself and a way to get my self balance back. In my family there is always something going on and in general there are always things I have to do and it seems likes it never ending. Thats why I escape and try to find my peace of mind again and really clear my head to prepare me for what is going to come next.
