Leaving Your Life
Have you ever wanted to get up and go and just leave your life?
I am not talking about killing yourself. I am talking about getting up and just leaving your life completely. Just quitting your job and leaving everyone behind.
Have you ever thought about leaving your life?

Get out of my head.
Oh yes. “Throwing in the towel,” I call it. Gets tiring being in this cycle sometimes.
Definitely.
Daily.
I did once during my early career days. I fought the urge because I had a wife and three children.
Only when I think about you and gay marriage.
who hasnt? but really, it wouldnt be worth it!
That’s only leaving your life behind if your job = your life.
Yes. Only in my case I’d be walking into a job.
No, because when I was married, I was responsible for one of the sweetest women I’ve ever known and she was so vulnerable. Not now either, because I am getting to know another very sweet woman- one step at a time.
i wouldn’t know how to do that.
Been there. Done that. Don’t recommend it.
Yeah.
Regularly.
I think if everyone is honest with themselves, they’ve all wanted to do that at one time or another.
I just logged onto this xanga account (this one is my “secret” one, I’m public on vividred) to VENT about this very thing. When I saw this post on my newsfeed I was baffled, but relieved to see many other people are feeling this way too.
@Paul_Partisan - I want a gay marriage with Dan too.
you don’t know me
you don’t even care oh yeah …
emo
Been there…done that. Problem was that you find another life to run from.
I’ll keep what I’ve got, neurotic dog and all.
Before I began living out my “someday”, yes. But I have no desire to leave this behind now! The only thing better will be heaven.
I have. But I’m starting to realize that life is not something to be “gotten through” but also enjoyed. That’s starting to make a difference, in whether I want to leave it or not.
absolutely! Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car is my theme song! “i wanna ticket to anywhere”.
Too many times to count.
I did when I was 24. Moved across the country and started over. New friends, new relationships, new career, new lifestyle. I never looked back and never regretted it.
Yes. All the time. I am far too practical to do it, though.
No because then I wouldn’t be able to leave “Rob of the Sky” as a comment.
Rob of the Sky
I’d like to move to Alaska; that would require leaving it all behind. I’d want to come back and visit though. Too bad it’s not a realistic plan.
Why am I attracted to women who hate me? Yeah, I was abused by my momma.
Some women enjoy torturing me, when a woman knows you like her, she preys in your insecurities, the girl from the computer shop knows I like her, she knows! More power to her. There is this other chik I think is hot, but we never meet.
I still am terribly hurt from my current love, the chik from my previous job, she once hinted I have a small penis… she enjoyed flirting with other guys in front of me, she would walk away when I was near her in line. Then she would act like she liked me, touching, sending kisses via air, next day she would pretend I don’r exist.
I am still hurting
The new chik, I like her, but I LOVE the other one, and I am physically attracted to the other blonde. I think I want emotional healing from one and sex from the other.
I only attract psychopathic women who give me mix signals.
Narcsissistic love, and I am a narcsissist
Every single day. It would probably make me appreciate the life I have more, though.
Or not.
I have but then I think about my family and I could never leave them, they are my life.
I wish. However, there are no cool Time Lords with a British accent and a time-traveling police box.
@Ricardo98 - I envy you.
I’ve thought about just leaving to 1 of my 3 options and starting new… Colorado, Utah or Minnesota…
I have done this through multiple versions of my life. It’s not worth it. The people who are meaningful to you give your life context. Cutting them off completely may feel like relief in the middle of whatever it is you’re going through, but you may want to repair things years down the road, and trying to bridge the gap between one life and the next will be all sorts of fucked-up. You’ll try and remember what you used to be like just so your old friends will have something to go on as far as figuring out what changed, but there’s such a huge divide because at some point you just erased yourself and developed this whole other identity, and you have no way of connecting the dots for people without saying, “Oh, at one point I decided to be this other person because fuck you guys.”
Anyway, it’s not impossible to reconnect with people after you’ve written them off for several years, but it’s a lot easier to just not be a fucking pussy in the first place.
Parts of it, sure. I had a really crappy job for a few months. But I don’t think I could ever leave all of it.
I have thought about it, but I would be homeless if I just quit my job.
Yes every morning when I wake up.
hell yes. i’ve wanted desperately to start over where no one knows my name, but my closest friends and family i would miss too much to do it
Yes. Many times.
Been there, done that, never again.
Yes; many times!!!
@AlluringAddiction - lol.
oh yes.
Yeah. Sometimes I just want to start a new life and see where it takes me. I want to try and get by on my own and make my own decisions. It might be interesting ^ ^
I already have. it is easy to leave when I’m not particularly attached to anyone or anything. the last thing I want to feel is feeling stuck. I have all the freedom in the world to do as my heart desires
every day.
There have definitely been a couple of occasions where I’ve wanted to just get up, walk out the door and never look back on what I left behind—this not pertaining to my marriage. I’ve entertained the idea of starting over with a completely clean slate, new name, the works. Just being fanciful about how things might be better.
Thought about it? Of course. …but I could never leave everyone behind. …especially when there are some that depend on me in some form or fashion.
especially when i get migraines.
Yeah, sorta. Some people I want to take with me though.
I thought about it (1963)….and then I enlisted in the Navy. It was a fantastic vacation!
Oh yeah. But who hasn’t thought of that at least once?
For a time, yes. Every fucking day.
no
I almost got to do that recently, but the plan I had set up fell through. I think at some point though everyone just wants to run away.
yes and am in the process of it right now. it’s called “SLEEP!!”
too often..I am always going to Vegas in my head!
Yes, and did so. 2005, all the kids had left home. We sold the shop, I closed my studio, we sold our home in the city and moved to a small fishing village on the other side of the country. Learned a whole new lifestyle. In 2009 we returned to our city and new grandchildren. Brought the new lifestyle with us. WIN!
Always but I can’t it seems.
Life is precious even when it feels like going through hell on Earth..Why run when their is gonna be problems in each and every path of humanity..we just have to deal with it and keep moving forward
yes, want it blank new.
Yes, every day. Right now I need completly new friends and a new job. There are certain times in life we have to break free, and do it all again. Only then do we realise we’ve “hit” the right combination.
There have been times when I’ve considered such, and given time, I still might.
I don’t want to leave my life behind, I just want to leave my career (which takes up a large portion of my life)
I did when I graduated High School and college. When I graduated those 2 schools, I said goodbye to old friends, and got new ones and got a new chapter in life. I’ve also had a new life (quit the old one and got a new one) when I got my first job and first house 2 years ago.
Yes.
@bittersweetreflections - @under_the_carpet - @pinktiger335 - anyone want to get to know me, and if we hit it off, run away together? Just a thought!
TOTALLY…
Every day.
there have been times…and there have been times…but alas that is our test isn’t it…to see how well we do under the pressure cooker so to speak…it is how we handle our problems that makes us grow…and yes once I did just disaipear a long time ago…and on that one that was the best way to deal with it…but I wouldn’t do it again…smile
yep
Not my family or friends but I would like to live for a year in different parts of the US and world for maybe 10 years.
I honestly wish I could right this moment.
everyday. I guess those of us that want to leave our life is because it’s not the kind of life we want to live but we ended up there anyway. There are many reasons behind this and I could go on forever talking about it but I wont. Leaving sounds so good right now.
Once. When college was too difficult for me.
Ha…yes…and when I think about it I realize there is nothing tying me to this life and I can pick up and move without much effort…
At first I thought you meant take a break from life, in that case I’ve always wanted to do that. I want to put everything on hold and go do something else while nothing changes and I can come back to my life the way it was, exactly how I left it. But I have never thought of actually leaving everything and everyone I know behind to start a new life.
Not a single day goes by that I haven’t thought about doing this.
… And I’m 17.
I have when I was going through a really rough time. Glad I never did.
Done it before.
Yep.
every day, the joys of being a single mom and working retail….lol
I think everyone has thought about it at some point. Unfortunately too many people actually go through with it (whether it be taking their life or just leaving life 100% behind).. it hurts so many people. Sucks but I’ve been there.. in both positions.
My mom did when I was 16. Up and left home, taking me along for a change.
But the loneliness is terrifying and depressing. It was hard to shake it off and moving on. 14 years later, I am at the verge of doing the same. I wanna get out of here. I wanna disappear from this life. But I don’t wanna drag my three children through that kind of change. I tried that and it was a big mistake.
hell yeah…and i wouldn’t just move states…i would go to another country!!
I never saw you leave such a long, heartfelt comment of support as the one you left in support of Josh aka Axis of Doom.
As usual the Christian hate crowd such as @mtngirlsouth showed up to also lend their support.
Allow me to show you what you are supporting. Following is a partial list of obscene user names that Joshed used in order to leave equally obscene comments at my site:

If the names repeat it’s because I couldn’t block it before multiple comments were left under that user name.
Why should anyone have to tolerate that kind of hatred? And how could any one with any decency defend someone like that and blame the Xanga Team for being capricious like you did in your comment to Josh?
That’s what I’m doing. I quit my job, I broke up with my girlfriend and now I plan to go on a trip to Asia and thinking of Europe after.
Very common for men and women … especially between 30 – 50. Fear of the outcome of wrong life decisions leading them down a path of boring mediocrity, missed opportunities (career/romance/fun/etc), or in some cases – abuse, are the more common reasons.
just make sure you leave a trail in case you ever wanna go back
I have, actually.
Honestly, I don’t think so. As many times as I have been down myself, I’ve never wanted to leave my life completely. My love for my dad is probably the single strongest bond I will ever have, and I would never leave that or even think of choosing to do so.
I am leaving my life in a matter of speaking, shutting DaVinci down noon tomorrow.
Yes, but I’m in love and I can’t leave that behind.
Every single day.
yep. every day.
Everyday. Though, I think about my friends doing this, and how lost I would be. That usually stops me.
yes several times
also, I lost EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING in my life TWICE before I was 2 years old.
most people don’t realize how many things they take for granted.
if I did that who would I be?
I did that for two years. Now, I’m leaving that life too.
Aye, I’m thinking about it. I wouldn’t be a complete walk away, but mostly.
I have. It gave me a wonderful new start, and I truly believe my life is better for it. Of course I kept in contact with family and close friends, but for the most part I never look back.
Yes of course. I think if you’ll do that, you’ll only realize that the life you have isn’t so bad after all. You just needed a break.
All the time. But I can guarantee that even if I run away to the furthest corners of the world, live as a hermit, my life will find some way of following me.
Besides, me running away and leaving everyone behind will be selfish beyond belief. Even though I want it more than anything, I know I won’t out of obligation and my conscience wouldn’t allow it. And who said life would be easy? I’m just gonna stick this out.
Tempted, yet if you have a job- you make the best of it through tough times. There needs to be a “will” to live.
Yes! I too feel the same way sometimes. But I know that I can’t leave. I am Caregiver. Taking care of a love one is a 24 hour job. Don’t get me wrong I love what I do. But it can be very demanding and over whelming. A caregiver tries to balance her personal family needs, and the love one that she is caring for. Family Caregiver let their health go because we put others first. There are days when I would like to fill up my gas tank, and keep driving…never stop until I get to the next state! But I love my husband, family and friends. I would not want to put them through that, because I know they would be worried about me. What helps me is prayer, talking with my husband…who gives me great comfort and support. Plus talking with family members and friends who are in the same situation as I. My advice to you is to hang in there, talk with family and friends…and the power of prayer. May God Bless you and keep you in His care! Margo
As a matter of fact, yes!! I have suffered some personal difficulties and crossed a few hurdles I shouldn’t have had to, of recent vintage, and that thought crossed my mind and my lips to a good, good friend of some 30 years. His advice was to chin up, pull in that lower lip and stick it out, as the end would be justified, if only I stick it out. Better advice I could not seek, I think! We will see, that’s for sure. Peace
Every. Single. Day.
I’ve actually done it…
I want to up and leave my life every day.
