You can't really run away from home. Because you bring it with you everywhere you go. There can definitely be value in escaping to antoehr geography, to protect yourself, to breathe, to get perspective, but you will still have to go back down the path and reclaim your childhood. Because it is still alive in you, still dictating your relational patterns, still controlling your choices. It must be owned. It must be confronted. It must be healed. And until it is, it's still the place you live. - Jeff Brown, Herticulations
