The tendency to seek distraction and relief from unpleasant realities, esp. by seeking entertainment or engaging in fantasy.

Last night two of my friends and I left Ming’s party for about an hour. We went to the park, dnm’d and kick backed. We all have different dramas happening in our lives at the moment, and how we normally get away from our drama is to leave - to escape our problems. We always find ourselves going away with each other, when we can, when drama occurs. It is a way for us to get away from the reality of our problems for awhile. We leave all our problems at home and just have fun on our holiday. 

I haven’t done this in a couple of months, I think it’s time I do it again - soon.
