Wouldn't you rather escape?
Personally, i do not see why everyone can't have an 'haven'. Like com'on! Who wouldn't want to escape from this world?
Escape from the pains, struggle, hardship; from the hate, sorrow, war and terrorism; from the noise from the world telling you what you can and can't do!

Wouldn't you rather escape? But just for a little while because you cant truly escape from the troubles of this world not even in that world in your inner mind you built!
But you do need someplace(not necessarily physical) that you can retract to when it all becomes too much and I'll tell you why.
- Psychologically
You have defence mechanisms, as a human, that helps you defend your ego against the ills of the world and are likely to crumble under these ills when you use up these mechanisms. This might affect you mentally.
So to avoid having to pay to see a psychologist or psychiatrist for treatment, you need an escape plan!
Physically
Your body is a machine, a divinely built one, and even machines need to recharge. Facing life head on can take its toll on it-carrying heavy machinery might not increase your BP but worrying might.Socially
You want to be able to relate with friends and family without having to come off as a frustrated he-goat. You want to be optimal, to be useful to your society. You need an haven that will enable you blow off steem- oh i mean steam, we dont want to blow off steem; that's money..lol.Spiritually
I do not think one connect with the spirit, with a troubled mind... Even meditation requires you to be at peace. Help yourself find peace!

You can escape with music, going to a physical location you love, retracting to conditions that relax you.

If you do not know where or what it is, find it! It is for your own good.
Be good.

Hmmmmm nice post
Thank u
I totally agree with this. We need to take conscious steps to help ourselves if we don't want to waste money on therapists. Live healthy, grow in spirit, exercise and be happy. Have a better mind set and change your attitude to things. Like the popular old saying: *"If you can't change some things, then change your attitide towards it". Music definitely helps too, not the depressing, sad or money talk kinda songs but songs that makes you feel invincible, gives self belief and builds you up. Thank you for sharing this. That cat though hahahahaha (the last picture)
I found the cat very interesting too.. Lol. Thank you for this twinie
You are most welcome dear.
Thanks so much for this awesome post.I am really glad i read.
Glad you for read it too. Thanks
You speak more like a prophetess "I do not think one connect with the spirit, with a troubled mind" I just wanna affirm this statement even the holy book says it that a double minded person can receive nothing from God. A troubled minded person is liken to a double minded person therefore, he or she can not connect to the spirit. Nice post dear
Prophetess bawo?! Lol.
Nice post :)
You are always on point. Steem on girl
An escape is needed of a true.... Life can be so messy and so "at your throat" that all you need is solitude, a place you can just get off the troubles of life.....awesome piece @nwamaka
We also don't take the need for psychologists and psychiatrists serious here
Hahahaha... True.. Instead of psychologist ad psychiatrists, in the case of most Africans, spiritual therapy is sought... Sometimes, it cost as much
That's true, though the probability they'll get a sincere spiritual therapy is minimal
meditation requires you to be at peace. Help yourself find peace.......this alone is enough for my take home quote.. Thanks for sharing this. You have done a great job.
Thank you for taking out time to read it.. Gives me joy
