When a hamster finds themselves really tuckered out, after all that cardio. And doesn't want to move from the wheel before taking a nap.
Man. Moo Moo sure has been falling asleep at the wheel a lot lately. I wonder how much he'd hate me if I poked his little belly right now.

The burden of human consciousness.
Thoughts come in a whole universe of flavors. But most of the words that categorize thought end in either"tion" or "sion".
Some tion/sion examples:
Rumination, premeditation, hesitation, deliberation, consideration, obsession, contemplation, compulsion, conception, introspection, repression, categorization, recognition, reconfiguration, Memorization,
Other: Fantasize, daydream, equating, misconstrue,

Thought can be enjoyable if you've got something to do. Other times I wish I could shut the whole process off.

(1.) The pursuit we owe to ourselves and the world.
Everyone is a prisoner of something. Current physical circumstances. Past trauma. A limit of belief or imagination. An insecurity. A lie we believe. A truth we ignore. A fear of failure. A voice in our heads that dictates what we can and cannot do. Expectations of family or society. Disability. Chronic Illness. Addiction. Grief. Shame. A general world weariness or exhaustion. A locked idea that the world we've known is the only world there is, or ever could be.
We praise the P.O.W. who escapes an enemy/internment camp. We praise the addict who escapes their addiction and chooses sobriety. But in so many other contexts escape is considered juvenile, a product of weakness or immaturity. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
(2.) To imagine something better for yourself or the world in a fictional setting, until you have the courage or ability to make it real.
No P.O.W. escapes an internment camp without imagining a vision of freedom powerful enough it spits in the face of their current tortured and starved reality. Equally so, an addict who imagines a reality in which they are sober, is often imagining something they think is impossible.
Escape gives us permission to think limitlessly, even when we think everything in our life limits us. Because it doesn't ask what's likely or possible, or what the odds are. It just asks, "What would your reality look like if you had it your Way?"

Nobody who ever dared to dream the impossible, and made it real, started off thinking it could happen.
Escape is the birthplace of the things we dare to dream.

The opposite of a North Star. Anything that guides you away from your goals, life purpose, or the best that is in you. It could be addiction or bad habits. It could be the wrong people. It could be hanging on to false or malignant hopes. Whatever it is, it will make your life go south. (Pun intended).

An asthmatic baby dragon that wheezes small puffs of fire. Just wants to make friends, but ends up accidently burning stuff down, when he forgets his inhaler. The last time was at a furniture store. His friend was really looking forward to that sofa set. It was so soft before it was crispy.
Puff the magic dragon is seriously over having asthma.
Puff the magic dragon wishes he got his name listening to Bob Marley and smoking a bowl instead. He thinks that sounds nice.

A girl who got stuck on a really hellish date, because a guy thought she owed him after giving her food.
With all the meat and fiery pits down here, you'd think the King of Hell would have at least summoned me some kind of chargrilled burger. But no. He gave me a piece of fruit that's like 90% seed. Of all the things that could've kept me down here...This seems like a particularly shitty deal.
