It didn't take me long to realize that my tendency to formulate routines stems from the need to escape. Escapism appears in many forms, shopping, cultural patterns (things that provide a fantasy of comfort due to dependency/reliance) or even buying cupcakes! lol. Getting a pumpkin spice latte and cupcakes everyday will not solve my real-life problems, and the good feelings I get from them are very short lived. I'm not saying I will stop buying/relying on these (often) but I do want to escape through more creative forms..like art. Maybe the happiness I get from that will be more purifying and have more longevity.
