Something we all crave, but can never truly find. The closest we can get to escape is lighting up some good weed and just trying to forget all our problems in this hell we call life, but still we can never truly find it

(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.

A Tuxedo Mix Domestic American Shorthair Cat born in the month of July 2006 and adopted to a loving family a few weeks later after being found in the engine compartment of a Ford Escape (hence the name.) Had the tendency to be a jerk but always loved everyone (JUST DONT TOUCH HIS PAWS OR BELLY.) Loved Skittles and popcorn for some reason, but always was a weirdo so that's to be expected. Later in his life he ended up getting a baby brother named Benni and showed him lots of love and care and taught him how to be a weirdo as well.

Escape passed away January of 2019 after living a very wonderful joyous life. He looks down upon his family members always with them for every moment. He knows he will see his family when the time comes and is waiting patiently with plenty of fresh food and treats as far as his eyes can see.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
