lol, TamiDoll . That's what a lot of people think.
My relationship changed with my parents after that (I wasn't as "precious" in my dad's eyes anymore).
I learned a lot about myself, though and I would have done it all over again.
The most awesome thing was that I found out later my boyfriend and father had walked those woods looking for me. It was really early and I was sound asleep. My lean-to was so well made they never noticed it.
I ran away again when I was 17. I was only gone that time for a week. I lived in some drainage tunnels under the street. It was a pretty awesome time too.
Awesome story MementoMori!
