The problem with escaping is that we leave behind us, even among those we love, different versions of the truth and everything we couldn’t bring ourselves to say.

About This Quote

We all want to escape sometimes. It feels good to be somewhere else, somewhere away from our problems, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work. The problem is that when we leave, we often leave behind versions of the truth that are far different from the ones we left behind. Even with those closest to us, their version of the truth is often different from ours.

Maybe they don’t think you’re a bad person like you really are. Or maybe they think you’re a good person and think you’ve been perfect in every way.
