Welcome back to another episode of The Long & Thick. This week we are diving into something everyone can relate to. Escapist Tendencies. What methods do we use to cope with the difficult parts of existence? What are some of the tactics we latch onto when trying to avoid? Healthy? Sometimes, but usually not. We take turns each sharing 4 different things we have noticed within ourselves when the going gets real tough. No one is perfect, including any and every human you have interacted with. Surprise!
