Do you wanna run away together?

It used to annoy me greatly when someone would analyze a song instead of just listening and enjoying it. Well lately I've found myself doing some analyzing. One song in particular comes to mind when I'm having a bad day. It starts with, "do you wanna run away together, I would say it was your best line ever." It seems that just packing up and leaving is very tempting some days. Just emptying the account and moving to another state where no one knows you and you can have a fresh start. However attractive this may be, one cannot run away from your problems. For example, I have a paper due tomorrow at 11 and instead of doing it I'm here blogging and making it more appealing to the eye and ear. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there will always been something there that you wanna run away from.

On the other hand, there are times that your life looks pretty good. I got a call from the manager at Regency Gardens and she wanted me to work tonight. It has been a good 6 months since I've worked there. Plus they started closing early so some of the employees are out of work. However, they stayed open late on Monday and I was able to polish my waitress skills. I had forgotten how much fun it can be. Just shooting the breeze with random people. It was a nice break from the jail and fun being able to catch up with some of my co-workers that I haven't seen in awhile. While chatting with my manager, she was telling me how some people have really been affected by the cut back and how they haven't been able to find work, in this hard economic time. So it made me think of how grateful I am to have a well paying job and to be able to go to school to better myself.

So...the option of running away is always there, but why run away from something good, even when those bad days seem to outweigh the good?
