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?

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.
