Getting away

Desi Distel, 3/8/25, photography

Sometimes you need to escape and just be somewhere and someone else for a while. This feeling has been eating me alive all year and after I took this photo I realized I’m not the only one. Wanting to get away is why we try to go to new places, meet new people, and explore the cosmos. This feeling of wanting to escape your entire life has driven our society as a whole and it’s what makes us want to create and explore this world.
