Inspired by “How to run away from your own broken heart” by S. R. Mason (https://theadventureto-be.tumblr.com/post/188396010206/how-to-run-away-from-your-own-broken-heart).
1. Start driving in the direction of where you want to go, get lost along the way, wander aimlessly.
2. Think so loud you want to scream.
3. Decrescendo.
4. Leave a light on; don’t tell anyone you’re coming back.
5. Use a map, but only look at the other side.
6. Lie awake in pitch black until your eyes invent shadow.
7. Sweat until roses grow from your pores; refuse to prune.
8. Become a stranger to yourself; ignore your mother’s advice to never talk to strangers.
9. Secretly celebrate the fall of your new god.
10. Contemplate drowning; pour the water out into the sink.
