I did exactly that, just left, didn't look behind in the rear view mirror and to this day have no regrets. Well, maybe one, I should have done it sooner. Sometimes it is hard to "Break on through to the Otherside". Then again, maybe things will get better at home and you will feel different in the morning..

I ran away when I was 16
to the mountains with a hot guy. It was great fun. I came back, everything was ten times worse than when I left. It took my years to straighten things out, but I never regretted it. I don't suggest that behavior when children are involved. I was a very selfish teenager. Take care Symphony!

Yes I have just up and
left once in my life, but I'll save that story for a post someday. You read my blog about all the different places I've been and lived, it's great to get out and see things and try different ways of life, but there is something about where you grew up that is magnetic, at least for me. I went around in a big circle and wound up back about where I started. At least get out and visit some different places.

Symphony, I've done it several times.
It's hard at the beginning, but gets better. I haven't had the urge to do it for about 20 yrs now because I like where I am------ between continents and between oceans.
But remember what Hemingway said on the subject: 'Wherever you go, you have to take your self along'. This implies you should know your self pretty well before you go.

Sure have. Packed our clothes, th4ew them in the car and rung up 60,000 in credit card bills. Now, I get to pay it off if I want to continue and be a part of society. Sometimes, I feel like gettting a boat and sailing away. Or, I wouldn't mind an island like Teds in the movie Captain Ron. Sometimes, I do feel like quiting but I guess that I'll hang in there for a little longer. And then if things don't change-the families outta here.

Great post!
I often had that feeling Symphony...many times over the years...and somehow I always knew that it would happen..that I wouldn't live my whole life in one place..felt it deep down...like maybe you are feeling now. And then, four years ago I left Canada when Steve was offered a job in the States...and although it's been hard..leaving family and friends...I think it's enriched all our lives. Change is a huge risk and although I ache for home sometimes the experience has made us all different people..more adaptable and in some ways more in tune to each other. Good luck Symph....if you want it..it just may happen someday!

Iv'e lived in many parts of the US and Iv'e been feeling the need to move again lately. Just a wandering soul I guess. The grass is always greener on the other side, especially if you reside in the snow covered state of Michigan.

I started all this moving around in my teens. I started taking buses across the country to visit family and friends ~ I just simply started traveling further and further. I must take after my grandmother. When she was alive, she was very much a wandering soul. She just went everywhere. Some of my wanderings may have been me running away at times though ...running away to think ...

damn the torpedos, buy the ticket, take the ride
I left, I decieded to move to England and moved in 6 months. Then again I'm a single male, not many roots, no responsibilities... I've heard of many cases where people will genuinely up and leave, something snaps in their heads, releasing that nomadic chemical that drives us all somewhere. A doctor who left his wife and kids enough money to survive for a while, disappeared for 6 months without telling anyone where he went, he lived in central park in New York as a homeless beggar, then decieded to go home again, picked up his life where he left off. weird or ultimately free?
