Escaping reality


Isn't it interesting how some people can lock themselves in their own little world in their own different ways. It's something we all need, it's the one way of how to escape the inevitable boredom that infests the work and chores around us. Some people lock themselves away for an hour or so with their music, others might get away by treating themselves to luxury with beauty treatments and massages, or maybe it's just a good long book. Whatever it is, it's something where you forget about everything that will be haunting your mind when you come back to our lovely world of reality.
I loose myself in my music often, but i still don't forget about everything this way, however, if I leave the country, thats the way my luxury works, the luxury of having no worries or hassles around you (hassles.. well ok.. i went to an Arab country where you are hassled to be bought for camels.. so not all hassles were escaped but you get what i mean!). From just coming back from Tunisia with a friend i can look back on it and miss it to bits, i don't miss the country itself it seems though, i actually miss the sun, the 'having-no-worries' bit, and just lazing under the sun by the pool all day, it's peace, and it was me escaping everything. I didn't once think of my part time work, or work for when i next go back to college (it's the start of a 2 week easter holiday now so its not all too bad), but it's going to be over pretty soon, and once i first set foot back onto english ground all the usual concerns and duties started to be popping into my head. It even happens when i go to Holland, I went for 3 nights without even once thinking about school or work or anything, as soon as i came back,.. BAM! Reality slaps you in the face with it's own nagging screaming voice in my head "WAAAKE UP YOU NUMBSKULL!!"
So i was thinking, I can relax and forget about all my worries by just stepping foot into another country, maybe there are other ways to do it. I was wondering how everybody else did it too. You must have some thing you do to treat yourself to forget, something to take your mind off the boring parts of your reality, and the annoying and frustrating bits too (and alcohol doesn't count).
This isn't a tagging article, it's just a big question i guess.. escaping reality..
How do you escape? Do you have a special place to go to to make you forget? Or maybe for you it's the "mind over matter" thing that works.. i used to say mind over matter, and i know it is, but it doesn't work for me.
I want to find out a way of escaping whenever i want without getting on a plane..
