We don't always have the option to run away physically, even when we want to, but we do sometimes run away from who we are, from who we care about, even from our responsibilities.  No matter how far we run, though, we can't get away from ourselves...and while that is an obvious cliche, it's still true.

All of us face tough times, people hating or mocking us...and it hurts.  It's how we respond to that, who we are at the worst points of our lives, that shows everyone else who we truly are.
