Never run away FROM a place, run TO a place.
If you are leaving because you are unhappy, what is to say that you will not carry your unhappiness with you?
When I was young I ran away from my home town to join the Coast Guard... I took my problems with me... then after college I ran away to Alaska... when I returned my problems were still here.
I have a chance to run away again, but I'm sticking around because I feel the need to conquer this town, this set of challenges that life has thrown at me... I'm too old to run, it's time to turn and face everything, and eventuially leave with a clear head and a dream.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Anywhere but home. When it was finally your calling to get away from home, what did you do? I need some stories. I really am beginning not to be able to take it anymore. I have anxiety out the ass. I just want to get out of here. What did you do to get away? Rating: 5
