Visionaries
When was the last time you closed your eyes?
The time when you just needed to do it.
The time when you felt you had to.
The time when you tried your best to flee from the rumblings around.
Well?
Did it work?
Were you able to see differently? Clearly? Blurry?
Did your environment change?
Did your perception change?
Did you change?
People cope differently. Some well, some don't.
Sometimes, in the middle of it all you feel that you're a mess, a wreck, a walking disaster in sight.
Even up to the point of anhedonia.
What did you do then?
Did you run?
Did you escape?
Did you shut your world?
You could.
Or would you?
You can.
Or can you?
Shut your eyes.
Clear your mind.
Breathe deeply.
And open your eyes again.
What do you see now?

i always do this when i'm stressed. sometimes may wish na din na i could escape. but you're right, when it's time to open our eyes, we cope up differently, minsan we're energized, minsan we tear up a bit.
