"Why are you always on your phone?" -"To escape." "Escape what? The world?" "To escape me. To escape the thoughts too loud in my head To escape my mind tearing me apart from the inside. To escape who I am when no one else is there." There you ******* go." I didn't say all that tho " Just to escape."

And I'm still not far enough
