It’s interesting that so many kids, teens and yes, even adults are drawn to this state of escape, whether it’s through playing out simulations of real life through avatars and imagined lives or drifting into an endless array of videos on social media where the focus is placed on glimpses of others “realities”, rather than our own.

It is so easy to feel boxed in, that in spite of the vastness of our world, we can feel so restricted in our ability to do more. Maybe in some instances, we really don’t have a choice, be it age, opportunity, or environment…but, oftentimes, we can make a shift, if we’re willing to put in the work.
