Escape From Reality







In today’s world, people are so overwhelmed with so many troubles and problems in their life’s . A lot of us, are strong enough to face and do something about them but many of us are not and are drown slowly into depressions, drugs and alcoholism. Perhaps we ran out of energy and believe in ourselves or simply lost our self-esteem. It looks like a huge percentage of that crowed are young people which are turning to alcohol and drugs as their escape from reality. I think this is wrong. I think is a very short run and eventually will cause health issues and perhaps ending up in jail or other institutions. If you drink or doing drugs you might be in your escape mode just for a little while – couple of hours to a day, but there is another day when you wake up and all your worries and troubles are still there. In my opinion the real challenge is to find within yourself positive thinking and believe that you can change your problemsand that there will be a brighter light at the end of the road. As a young man, I do too have worries and at times I get into troubles, but I’m aware of all the consequences of turning to bad habits are greater than the risk. Myself, I tent to listen to the music a lot when I want to escape the reality. My favorite artist that I listen at that time is Enya. Her music is amazing and touches you so deep in your soul that makes you to just get up and do something nice and constrictive. It relaxes you. Another artist that actually my sister introduced me to is Josh Groban and his newest CD – called Awake. One of the songs on the cd is " Don’t give up – you are loved" . Please check it out – I want to dedicate that song for all these people that are out there struggling with their everyday problems. Do escape from reality, we all need that at times, but escape to the brighter side, positive and more encouraging.

"Don’t give up" By Josh Groban
Don’t give upIt’s just the weight of the worldWhen your heart’s heavy
I will lift it for you
Don’t give up Because you want to be heardIf silence keeps youI…I will break it for you
Everybody wants to be understoodWell I can hear youEverybody wants to be loved Don’t give upBecause you are loved
Don’t give upIt’s just the hurt that you hideWhen you’re lost insideI…I will be there to find you
Don’t give upBecause you want to burn brightIf darkness blinds youI…I will shine to guide you
Everybody wants to be understoodWell I can hear youEverybody wants to be lovedDon’t give upBecause you are loved
You are lovedDon’t give upIt’s just the weight of the worldDon’t give upEvery one is to be heard

Hi greg you have a nice main idea ,and I'll say the same because you wrote above the same like me. Also, I think that those are the first things that people with problems will go in...

I agree with you because a lot of people want to escape from reality using drugs and drinking alcohol,anyway it's not the right way to resolve the problems.
