Those Idioms

Those sayings..sometimes they make sense and sometimes they don't.

When you are stressed out, they say that you have "to go really far away from your problems to see how small they really are" Does that saying actually work? It is very situational and for me, it never works. Once I stray and forget about my problems, I will forget about them completely..then BAM! the consequesnces will occur. Then i'll have that thought.."man, I should have figure out the solution beforehand."

So then when I'm stressed what do I do? There's the saying of "going with the flow", which never work as well. Going with the flow is giving your conformity--
You don't know where you're headed but still tag along with the waves.
How about I just follow the wind?
If I follow the wind, I still wouldn't know where I'm heading,
but at least I can stop at my own free will if I'm not too sure of the road I'm following.
Its better than being carried away, not knowing what's ahead and when to stop.

So I follow the wind, then I keep following until I come to a dead end. What now?
They say, "turn back when you reached a wall, to learn what you have done wrong and to not do it again."

If I ever do that then it would mean that I would have to retrace my steps..
Relive my mistakes..and I'm all for NOT regretting anything; but learning from it.
So what the heck..I ain't turning back once I have come across a great ordeal
just to figure out the right way by looking back.
Heck, I'll get a bulldozer and ram that wall out of my life.

See, those idioms are pretty much senseless in my complicated life.
Or am I being too logical and delusional?
Well, I did try them a few times, but it didn't quite work out.
idioms are for idiots..? They say.

So if burdens are too heavy and lil 'ol me can't go on anymore..what shall I do?
Simple.
If the world pushes me down on my knees, I would just pray.
