Serious Question: Have you ever just wanted to leave and start a new life? - GoFuckYourself.com

DarkJedi · 02-18-2005, 03:51 PM

Just move and vanish ?

polish_aristocrat · 02-18-2005, 03:53 PM

yes 5678

ElvisManson · 02-18-2005, 03:54 PM

have done it. Was very liberating.

Didn't have any responsibilities back then.

Tala · 02-18-2005, 03:54 PM

Yes. Right now. *eyes glowing coldly*

Elli · 02-18-2005, 03:55 PM

Yes, many times. And then I finally up and did it. I didn't quite vanish though.

$5 submissions · 02-18-2005, 03:55 PM

Not vanish, but I would like to have a hectare or 2 of land in the province far from the city where I can farm/enjoy nature on the weekends

BRISK · 02-18-2005, 03:57 PM

Someday I'm going to move to Iceland and become Gootenborgen the seal hunter.

Herb Kornfield · 02-18-2005, 03:57 PM

I did it once 5 years ago and things couldnt have turned out better.....

I moved out of the house I owned and sold it in 28 days, relocated to a new town that was about 30 miles from where the house was and just dropped out of sight from the peeps I knew in Philly.

Hooked up with a new babe, bought a new car and got a pretty cool apartment on the top floor of a victorian home out in the country. Got a job doing IT sales and hit when the boom was banging for a shitload of stock options and banked the cash.

5 years later I am still amazed that in 1 night I decided to pack up life as I knew it and do all that shit. I dont know if I'd have the balls today to do that again.

xlogger · 02-18-2005, 03:57 PM

heh no, why would i want to do that for?

Rilose · 02-18-2005, 03:59 PM

Lensman called me 5 years ago when I was in Canada and wanted me to work for him. Decided to say yes, sold all my shit in less than a week, and moved down to California. I am still working for Lensman in house at Adult.com. Best thing I ever did. However, I miss the people/friends/family in Vancouver but the weather is great in Cali, and have since of coarse made some good friends here. I am married too and having a pretty good time

If your young and have the opportunity to split..take the fucking chance, you can always move back. If you feel like you could move, you should.

Do you still keep in touch with your friends from another life ?

Stephen · 02-18-2005, 04:03 PM

I've "shifted gears" several times - picking up, moving on, and starting a new adventure somewhere else. Easy when you're young, harder as your responsibilities increase - but by no means impossible to do...

sweetME · 02-18-2005, 04:43 PM

I'm scared too much of putting eveything I worked for too hard behind me and start all over again, take risks. I'm too much of a chicken to start things over as much as I want to do it all over again. I always wonder about it though.

Young · 02-18-2005, 04:47 PM

98% of my family live in the Boston area. But since my girlfriend passed away in September, I've decided Boston is not the place for me. I did not want to run right away, I wanted to deal with the demons back here first....I can not let this place haunt me. But Boston has nothing for me...frankly...its depressing. I am going to get up and leave this all behind and head out to Cali in September. All I'm bringing with me is my diploma, my car, and my computer. Fingers are crossed. I am not turning back.

Rochard · 02-18-2005, 05:04 PM

Very close to that moment myself.....

BBWTori · 02-18-2005, 05:09 PM

I think about it every day

psili · 02-18-2005, 05:13 PM

Yes. Yes I have.

I've also had thoughts of murder, suicide, cheating on my girlfriend, tax evasion, blue & white collar crime and pretty much all sins ever thought of. Some of these thoughts have lasted a nano-second. Some a couple of minutes or more.

In regard to the "thought" of this thread, I had it when I was deciding on colleges and decided to leave everyone I knew and move out of state. I haven't moved back since.

quiet · 02-18-2005, 09:41 PM

certainly. and i've done it several times, on a smaller scale. it's taken me years to figure this out, but i've finally come to the realization that i simply get bored of any one particular place/lifestyle after a certain amount of time. for whatever reason, i need a complete change of scenery once in awhile.

Tell me about it. This is part of the path of enlightenment... Yes, this is really it, take it or leave it. Yes, these are the rules of this game, obey them, or be taken out of the game. Yes, these people are basic functions of code designed to perform a specific task - macros.

been there, done that - you're still the same person no matter where you end up, so if you're not comfy with yourself you're not going to get comfortable too long anywhere.

Steen2 · 02-18-2005, 10:25 PM

Run away to California!

Run away to Europe!

Just run away

very wise

KRL · 02-18-2005, 10:35 PM

Yep at age 20. Decided I'd had enough of living a comfy life in the rich suburbs of Philly and packed up a couple suitcases, dropped out of college, took $2K I saved, said my goodbyes, told my mother and father I wanted to be completely independent on my own, and make my own fortune, and headed out west.

It was the best decision of my life.

jayeff · 02-18-2005, 10:37 PM

One day when I was 19 I said f*ck it, packed a duffle bag and hitch-hiked to London. 12 years later I went on a 2-week trip to Israel and stayed for almost 10 years. Now it has been about 7 years since I quit London for rural SE Kansas. I have never "vanished", I'm even still in touch with a couple of friends from school, but my adult life has consisted of looking for something which interests me, burying myself in it until I get bored, and then jumping into something completely different.

tASSy is right of course and you likely wouldn't live that way if you were comfortable with yourself. I'm very aware that I never figured out what I was looking for, much less found it.

Furious_Female · 02-18-2005, 10:44 PM

Yes, I want to run away every single day of my life. Not for the sake of changing who I am, but for the sake of changing my environment and lifestyle. By the way, I'm open to being kidnapped if anyone is willing to do me a favor! LOL

CynthiaB · 04-22-2005, 01:57 PM

I did that about fifteen years ago. I was a teacher in NJ where I was born and rasied - boring life, same old same old. So one day I just decided to pick up and move to California. I gave up everything I had, moved here where I knew no one and within two years I was married with a kid on the way, a career as a writer.

Cyn

MetaMan · 04-22-2005, 01:59 PM

yes at different points in my life i have felt like just packing up and moving away and breaking all contact.

but then you think and realise life goes UP and DOWN and things always come back around.

also i have to many friends that i have known for way to long to just pack up and go. i have been lucky enough in my life to be in a slump for no more than a few months, if i was in a slump for a year + i would def. change my entire life around.

Antonio · 04-22-2005, 02:09 PM

ding ding ding...absolutely

"No matter where you go, there you are..." sounds fitting

However, I have thought of doing a geographical a few times....and still do but not for the reason of 'escaping' anything, but more in the line or framing of 'runing to' like moving to a nicer culture that I respect more, etc...thoughts of living in parts of the Med or S. America really appeal to me on MANY levels...

a few countries I would love to move to for a while:

Crete/Greece
Chile
Canada (Vancouver in particular)
Switzerland
Austria
Costa Rica
Italy
Spain and a few others...

dammit now I want to travel :/

PS: fortunately I got to do quite a bit of 'leaving' or travel while I was in the military for over a decade, uncle sugar paid for me to live in some pretty cool places for a while with some pretty decent jobs

CDSmith · 04-22-2005, 02:48 PM

One of your better threads DJ.

Answer: yes, I have often thought of pulling up stakes and moving somewhere new. More often than I'd care to admit, actually. One of the main things that keeps me where I am is my parents, who are both elderly and would be crushed if I were to move far away. So for now, I stay put.

Shortbread · 04-22-2005, 02:50 PM

Not a day goes by that I don't think about it. The feelings grow stonger to leave everyday. I just wish I had the guts.

So one day I just decided to pick up and move to California. I gave up everything I had, moved here where I knew no one and within two years I was married with a kid on the way, a career as a writer.
