I often contemplate running away from home. And I sometimes plan out how I will run away to the Florida Keys, or the Bahamas, or somewhere with a beach. And I sometimes think about how could I run away to a really far away place like Sri Lanka, or New Zealand.
The things that stop me are...
1) how would I get all my stuff that I cannot bear to part with into my car?
2) What about my grandchildren? I couldn't take them without taking their parents.. and it wouldn't really be running away if I took my family.
3) What if I go through all that trouble and end up in the same situation with the same feelings and fears as now? Of course, maybe that wouldn't be so bad if I was in a cool place like Sri Lanka or New Zealand...
4) How could I drive my car to New Zealand? That might be a pretty difficult thing to accomplish..
And when I think about running away, it's always because I feel overwhelmed and buried in anxiety about money and debt. OR it's because it's winter once again in the midwest and I really do hate winter.. really I do...
sometimes I am ready to run off to my magical place on the beach...I have been running away for a long time,,,sometimes I feel when its really magical I will stay ,settle down and start my family before I get too old to have any..
Why would I fly away?
freedom from worry, no issues to deal with and then heal in the pure salt water everyday
I would rip my socks , shoes and clothes and feel the rejuvenating invigorate and give me a glimpse of what youth was for even a moment!
I love New Zealand too. They had many magical deserted beaches especially on the northernmost peninsulas...that were only farmland 30 years ago..
Noone else around, pitch a tent and live off the clams!
You dont need a car but it would be so cool to explore every niche and cranny of both islands!
