Yes, and once I did. I thank myself for having done so. It was a wild leap of faith. I know if I have had kept my old life, where my life may have been easier even now. It wasn't entirely from unhappiness, but more from an unease and restlessness within myself that made me do so. A lot of things happened in my life changed during that time I never could have foreseen, from my father dying a year after, to finding myself in photography school. It was unnerving, but sometimes that is a needed element of life. It can be very cathartic and telling.
Now I don't let that voice guide me as much. I wanted to once, but my circumstances were different. Now life is throwing a monkey wrench upon my life, my work is now closing, and for how I said no to my once desire, I'm having it handed to me. Mixed emotions, but that time guides me, this time may just be a gift.
Yes, I think about it every day. The only thing holding me here is a promise I made long ago. I promised I wouldn’t simply hit the road and fade away. But there are times when the urge is so strong….I get in my car and drive…listening to the blues…and letting all the reasons to leave run through my head. But I always turn around and go home because of that promise….that damn promise. One day though, I will break that promise and leave…leave this life and this place in the rear view mirror.
All the time, I usually just go for a late night drive around the city and that usually brings me back The reality of leaving everything and everyone behind guilt trips me back 😅🥺

I did already. When I was 21. Moved to the west coast of Canada and eventually joined the RCN (navy).
that's what i did. after school ended i was left with a lot of anxiety. i completely stopped going outside. i got rid of all my friends. i basically hibernated for awhile.
Did so in my past career bc I realised I was working with and for very corrupt unethical people, they actually never cared for those they were responsible for looking after … absolute narcissists who were on a 24/7 power trip by using hateful behaviour like bullying, isolating … neglecting people in their care, slandering etc
