I'm Running Away

Everytime I leave for a trip, I feel horrible about being back so i'm going to sell most everything I own, quit my job, burn my apartment down because it sucks, and get the fuck out of here.

When one has these feelings, should one take them seriously?...i just want to get away from families and normal values I guess...too boring, too much like prison

Who feels like this sometimes....who's with me (sorry because you can't come)

 

I would say that describes my desires pretty accurately and I'm following them.

 

Actually, I'm going on vacation on Friday. I'll be in Thailand for five days, and I honestly wish I could run away. My life's not terrible, but paradise... I mean, Thailand... sounds so groovy And the thought of a Thai beach soothes my mind



I sometimes wish I could run away to a world of no worries. I wish I could remove all the shit from my life....

 

Thats just it, getting rid of all the sihit...I feel like the longer i stay here the more roots will form and i don't really want that....I've never wanted a very traditional life, and I feel like the older you get, the more others try to force you into this role by getting you to "settle down" getting you to "marry them, "getting you to "go to bed at 9:30 after watching tv"



Another question....how many adolescences can one go through, this has to be at least my 7th.

dhs, what is your secret?

whats wrong with never fully maturing, if anything?

 

I think most people feel like that. Its part of life.

 

i'm married, i have a child. i also still haven't lived in the same place for more than a year. every day is a freaking adventure. yeah, you have responsibilities that kinda slow down the fun, but doesn't stop it. i never had a long standing desire to abandon responsibilities, because the more people who rely on you, the more you have to rely on. but a vacation would be nice.

 

Well, I haven't fully taken flight, but its not too far off, I just have some complicated arrangements to make. My secret is just accepting the fact that the whole 'staging' times of my life in a traditional sense wasn't working. I was living life the way I thought one is 'supposed' to live. Through much thought, which was essentially forced onto me because of hard times, I've recognized that and without this sounding super cliche - life is short, its time to start living it on my terms, not what I learned from watching the Brady Bunch.

 

I feel like my responsibilities are KILLING the fun, and I have a hard time seeing what the point is, if i had a kid I'm sure I would feel differently but i don't.


Its starting to freak me out, the lifestyles of the poeple i work with and some others around me....it seems so boring and they are so trapped....I realize that some people can find ways around this and i'm not trying to say that anyone who has a family has a boring life.

i just don't feel like having anyone rely on me, or relying on anyone right now.

amen to that, see this is where me and dead heads agree

 

you'll love it there...I promise

 

Any responsibilities that you blow off at this time will only come back to haunt you at a later date when you snap the fuck out of it. Better off just staying put.

 

God, I'm just full of the corny cliches today, but what's that saying

everybody dies, but not everyone truly lives

 

* cough pussy cough *

 

My name is Bogsy P. Bugman

The P stands for pussy.

 

hahahs, yea bug, I thought you were a little more hardcore than that


I'm just starting to feel like that mechanic in the great gatsby, y'know the one with the rather mean wife and the crappy apartment in the depressed area by the glasses billboard.

I'm not really talking about blowing off responsibilites, but rather getting rid of them all together and, of course, getting some new ones.


I hate monotony and repetition, I'm immature I guess, just not sure if i really care anymore.........

i just know I don't belong around minivans and stupid yard ornamanents (geese are the preferred statues around here)

 

those of you who are running away:

please! take me with you!!!

 

"...burn my apartment..."

I'm just glad I'm in the religion business and am not a landlord... How about just moving out? You don't have to burn it down.

 

you see god, I like to make things hard for myself, therefor i will burn it down just to have the tension of the police trying to hunt me down....plus maybe then i could get some kind of hard core tatoo, because i will have committed a real crime, one that doesn't involve drugs (fake crimes)

 

If you don't like where you live and you are able to afford to move than I would do it.

You don't have children or a significant other (I don't think you said if you did). If your looking for a change than I would change your situation.

I can't stand the same things day after day after day after puke....I try to do something different. I am a stay at home mom. It is very challenging HOWEVER also rewarding. Your in a position you can get up, travel, have new experiences.

Get in the car, take the camera, travel... We are always going to have responsibilities of some kind. BUT they don't have to kill you in the meantime.

When I first got married I thought my life had to be a certain way. When you get right down to the foundation of people's lives it isn't always pretty. Are those people who want you to be a certain way deliriously (sp) happy? You need to find your own happiness.

I wish you well.

 

If you have the money then leave thats what I'm going to do

 

I use to live in Greece and now that I started watching The Olympics on T.V. I really wanna go back there now.
