Outgrowing my life

I feel like I’m outgrowing my entire life in my hometown and now I can’t unsee it. Nothing feels new, everything is hollow. I just sort of go through the motions and act like a security blanket for the people in my life who don’t care if I’m happy as long as I’m near them. I long to be free, to travel the world, to not waste away working 40+ hours a week, go out with friends on the weekends and pretend it’s enough. How do I get out of here?

That’s life my friend, as an adult, you get stuck into a certain routine but I can imagine it’s more daunting in a small town but a big city can also feel overwhelming and lonely 🤷🏻‍♂

@IamBack there has to be more if there isn’t what’s the point?

@Onyx235 there is of course, you’re still starting out and have a lot to explore but I’m just saying in general, life as a responsible adult, is like that 🤷🏻‍♂

I posted about something like that today on my Facebook. I said do you ever get the feeling people only want you around to fix their problems? Also meaning that when you go through yours you find yourself totally alone

@KingofBones1 yea if I’m going to go through my problems alone anyway I’d rather just be alone at least I’d be free

So many people fight so hard to resist change. And that leaves the rest of us suffering with a sense of stagnation. I think the key thing you need to identify is not what you are looking to escape but what you are looking for. Otherwise you may end up somewhere new just to have the cycle repeat.

@ViciDraco thank you for this it’s also important to me that this isn’t just a cycle I want to create a sustainable change in my life somehow

Well, find a job in the city and rent a cheap flat. That's what most of us do.

@BlueVeins I work in the city already and I could move into an apartment and keep working where I do but it seems pointless

@Onyx235 you might be surprised. A change of scenery can really change your life.

Time to make a plan and save up for an adventure.
