Do you ever just want to run away?

Yep! Exactly my thoughts

 

All it takes is money.

My problem with that is the lack of money to remove myself and live independently. I have a stable job and living place so I'm good. But yea a blank slate would be nice...

 

Oh yes, one day I'll definitely "run away". I just need to make some money, and to study at University, and then... I'll go in another town, I'll work there, and I'll start over.

 

I have the feeling all the time in fact I'm saving up to do this very thing right now, I've already lived in a few places and haven't really found one I love yet, I am hoping I can find a place I want to call home.

 

running away is my dream, even at my age. someone famous once said though " wherever you go there you are ". not sure i want to bring me along. LOL

 

Honestly I only wanna get away so I can be out and open to experiment, I just don't want to hide anymore. He'll getting away so I can be open about being me has always been a dream.

 

Yes, yes and yes.

I would absolutely love to run away.

Someplace where I could start a completely new life.

Someplace where no one knows me and I don't know anyone.

Someplace where no one from my 'old' life could find me.

....although there is one person in this world that I would take with me

 

I dream of it often! I'm thinking of only tell close family and friends when I go to grad school where I'm going so I can get a fresh clean start and just be me!

 

That would be nice. I'm happy enough here, though.

 

Sometimes.

 

Yeah, sometimes. But sometimes you just have to think of all the things you take for granted in the place you're at! The grass always appears greener on the other side but often times it isn't as great as it seems. Running away is a fantasy that is unavoidable, I mean, who doesn't want to lead a new life completely disregarding consequences of an old life Sounds like some great novel, but I doubt it would be as amazing as that

 

one day soon- just gotta keep high spirits

 

I've thought about it most of my life.. Here I've already made a bad impression, its not the real me.. Ive bottle my emotions and who I am, even my family doesnt know the real me.. I cant even be myself with them. I just want to move countries, where everything is foreign to me. Somewhere I can start a new

 

I guess it's the new American dream.

 

I used to want to run away a lot. There is an old saying that I have come to live by though, and that is, "Wherever you go, there you are." I tried running from myself way too much when I was younger, and no matter where I went the same problems followed. Now instead of running away I reflect inward instead. I realize there are good reasons to decide to move, but running and making a change are two entirely separate things. It took me a long time to learn that.

 

I completely understand what you mean, and the move I'm making odd a completely conscious decision, away from the people who are hurtful to my inner health and to where the friend I have accepts me and we'll accept me regardless. So I'm taking the leap hoping it's a place that will allow happiness to thrive.

 

Yeah. It was basically my biggest fantasy for all of high school. I'd turn 18, take a suitcase, and get the hell out of town.

but...yeah. Didn't quite come into play. I still contemplate it once in a while, just for the sheer thrill of being able to see the world on my terms.
