Thread: Escaping

Lately Ive been having this urge to drop everything and Leave. It seems to strike me at random moments through out the day and its almost undenable, Once while on vacation I almost walked out of the hotel I was staying in with my family and go into the City. I start to loath the people that know me well and I feel like they are overtaking my life and I want them to go away.

I didn't start having feelings like this until a month ago. When I was with my dad. Ive had Daydream where I venture out somehow get to Maine and from there the UK and onward to Russia then Tokyo and lastly Australia. I know the reality wouldnt be such a simple prospect but I have also sworn to myself that if I find someone that fells this way and want to runaway I would go with them.

I want to know if this is a phase most people go though or is it something different and something stronger

If its of anyone's interest I was reading about my Chinese horoscope (a Metal Horse) and it said that most horses have an urge to escape at some point in there life, it also said that if they did they would be able to adapt easily to there surroundings


IM just asking for you Ideas Oon what's going on with me. Reply if you have a theory or just tell me im crazy im not much in the mood to think about it right now

Maybe you just need to get some space, some time to chill out on your own.

Sometimes it isn't always physically possible to get away, but if you try somthing like meditation or yoga, *time spent with you*, the feelings of needing to escape may diminish.

I used to feel like running off, even if nothing appeared to be wrong. But looking back now, I realise it was because I wasn't creating enough space for myself mentally.

I know EXACTLY how you feel mate... I have had almost the exact same feelings too recently. I've grown up on the farm all my life, and apart from going to boarding school I haven't really done much. I keep on wanting to escape somehow... I dream of winning the lottery or something so I could just run away... I want to lucid dream so bad just so I can explore places...

I keep thinking to myself... there's so much I want to do with my life. I want to go out and be famous... being a famous author or something would do me fine. My parents keep on nagging at me to get a job etc etc... and they want me to go to uni but I just don't want to be tied down. I'm scared that I'll end up like my dad, who came to the farm at age 17 and has been here ever since, although admittedly it's all he wants to do.

There's been lots of times when I've been so close to just walking away but every time I realise that I need money and food and everything else. But yeah, if anyone ever wanted to run away i'd be there in a flash.

I guess there's not much we can do but find a way to actually do what we dream. I want to try and put all this into my novel... try really hard to make a name for myself because in truth it takes work. I have to start somewhere I guess, and if I want to badly then my writing will be my ticket to go and see the world... hopefully.
