Part 2: Flight
Everyone thinks flight is dramatic:
the running away, the leaving, the slamming doors but mostly it just looks like a person who can't sit still in the conflict.
The one who's always busy, always onto the next thing, always three steps ahead so nothing can catch them off guard.
Flight is your nervous system deciding that the safest place to be is somewhere else, anywhere else, just not here in this feeling.
So you fill the calendar and you over plan.
You leave the conversation before it gets hard and you tell yourself you're just driven when really your body is trying to outrun something it never got to finish.
The thing is that you can be moving constantly and still never actually arrive anywhere because the part of you that's running isn't trying to get somewhere, it's trying to get away.
