can't even handle it

do you ever find yourself wanting to run away? there's no good reason. logic and intuition both scream 'stay put' but the psychological/emotional flight response is in full swing.

this behavior is compelling primarily because it completely instinctual. the mechanism works at a level so much deeper than the ones to which we typically adhere. after all emotions have there purpose, and to some extent they should not be ignored. if an emotional response says 'run' who am i to stand still?

of course all instinct must be or, at least in my small bit of the world, is tempered by reason. this leaves me running laps between my here and some other, poorly-defined, there.

obviously this is most amusing and perhaps disturbing when the laps are literal.
