A pretext

Is all we need sometimes to go away

Away from what irritates or frustrates us

And we all have some things that really push our buttons

So what do you do?

Where do you go?

Rash words and arguments don't help

.

Tried that many times

Just get out and calm down

Understand that time heals

An old cliche and one so true

We cannot hurry time, but we can be busy and help it to pass quicker

And when we need a pretext to be alone

Find one that lets you get away

Go away let time and space show you more clearly what is going on

From another perspective life can change

Life's problems become clearer

Find a good pretext even an honest one like I need to get away

Sometimes distance allows us to cool down and see things as they are and not as we want them to be

Get a second opinion from someone who is not involved

.

Separation and time are two key ingredients for clearing one's head
