how to run (away)

"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth."

1. Choose a destination. (warmer or colder? further or closer?) or don't.
2. Mentally prepare yourself. (Commit to running away & look up 'adventure' on tumblr. Sleep outside.)
3. Leave a note. (You don't want to people to think you've gone missing.)
4. Pack the essentials. (Headphones and some cash. maybe.)
5. Turn your car into a living space (Pillows and blankets are recommended.)
6. Bring a notebook. (this all must be documented. and Running away is asking for a poem. )
7. Detach. ( You can't have anything holding you back. don't let anything hold you back.)
8. Get lost. ( Sometimes getting lost helps you to find yourself. )
9. Take pictures. ( And lots of them. Memories don't last forever. )
10. be cultured. ( don't be judgmental. it won't work. )
11. Live. ( hike, Scream, Be free, See, Listen, Wander, Kill, Love, Cry, Swim. ) Live.


But, You better do It soon, because running away quickly just becomes a vacation.
And You will have too many things holding you back.
So run.
