Do you sometimes just want to leave your recent life

[MissHoneychurch]

and start over somewhere else?

[billyskank]

1. I have felt like that before

What's up MissH? :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. just the way I felt this weekend

nothing serious really, just the once-in-a-while not too happy with my situation mood.

[Robeson]

3. MissHoneychurch, if the Starship Enterprise suddenly hovered...

...over me, and the captain asked if I wanted to go explore strange and new worlds with them, I'd go in heartbeat....

[MissHoneychurch]

4. now that is interesting

I would do that in an heartbeat also :)

[enigmatic]

5. I've done it all my life

Giving things away and taking off w/ my backpack on a Gereyhound to a new city; I've done it many, many times.

[GalleryGod]

11. You, Sir, are my Hero! God bless your strength and resolve.

I'd love to hear of some of your adventures !? Maybe at another time!?:donut:

[enigmatic]

66. You got it, my friend

:)

[hfojvt]

6. Nope

it is too hard for me to find another job and to make new friends. New beginnings have too much uncertainty and stress. Not something I would seek.

[SarahB]

7. I guess I sort of did.

Earlier this year, I left a marriage I had been unhappy in for years. Best decision I ever made. One of the hardest things I ever did, but being honest and true to your heart ultimately has it's rewards. :thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

9. Congrats to that step

that is something I admire. :hug:

When I went to the States to do be a nanny and a couple years later to do an internship I didn't know what to expect. A lot of people told me they admired my courage to do something like that. I never felt that way. It was something I wanted to do and I never regreted a minute.

[SarahB]

13. I hope you find what you need.

Changes are tough, but sometimes necessary. :hug:

[Left_Winger]

15. People told me the same thing when I was sent to Halle

However, I looked forward to it and totally enjoyed the experience. I would not want to reside there on a full-time basis.

[MissHoneychurch]

16. me neither

Halle is a horrible city.

[Callalily]

8. I think we all wonder at one time

or another if the path we have chosen is the right one.

[GalleryGod]

10. I'm VERY Happy with the last decade or so.

It was the previous 10 years that I wish I could get a "Dubya' Do-Over" !

[Deja Q]

12. Yes. Except there is no escape.

[Left_Winger]

14. Yes, I have given it serious thought

I investigated emigrating to New Zealand. Unfortunately, according to the application I completed and the points which I accumulated, the application fee for me was $850. I have the skills which they need and the NZ Immigration Office actually sent me loads of information as to how to complete the process. But that application fee was too much. Oh well, I guess I'll stick it out where I am.

[Tsiyu]

17. yes

Have done it before.


Hang in there, MHC :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. thanks, I will

I am not totally unhappy with my life. And what I am upset about I would have the same problems anywhere, no matter where I go. But I felt like changing some things in the last weeks.

How are you doing? Haven't talked to you in a while :hi:

[Tsiyu]

21. I am working two jobs and trying to stay sane

Thanks for asking. I was thinking about you yesterday when i heard some German students talking. Ain't that funny?

I guess you have to weigh the situation. When I left Georgia to come up here to TN where I knew absolutely nobody, I HAD to leave the old environment. Many of my problems were created in the environment I was living in. I lost ten years off my face and my stress level when I moved to Appalachia.

But sometimes it would be more stress to move. Still, I think a change of pace and place are always good for a body. You can get in a rut staying in the same place too long.

Hope today is happy. I gotta go drive in the rain. BaH! :(

[MissHoneychurch]

22. I actually thought about moving within my city

but then I am thinking about what I need to pack and unpack and I let that thought drop again :scared: I have way too much stuff for a single woman.

Driving in rain - I hate that. But even worse is night AND rain. That is a time I absolutely dislíke driving.

Today I am doing a lot better already. My lone weekend is over even though I chatted a lot with friends on the computer.

[gmoney]

19. I know the feeling...

...but you already knew that. :) :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

20. yeah, I know

just thought I ask that question in the big round too.

[Brewman_Jax]

23. G'day, MissHoneychurch

Are you going somewhere?

[MissHoneychurch]

25. nah, I am staying where I am right now

I just wish I could move to another country, like the U.S. or Canada. It's been my dream since some years. Not putting too much effort in it at the moment though.
And I had a kinda lonely weekend, and my thoughts were running wild.

[Brewman_Jax]

31. Long weekend?

Sorry to hear. :( Weekends are like pizza--even if bad, it's still pretty good. Monday will come soon enough.

Dad is improving. They've finally found a pain medication that is helping and he can sit up and eat. He may leave in a few days once he can move around again.

[MissHoneychurch]

33. glad to hear your dad is doing better

:hug:

weekend was dragging in between, esp. Saturdaynight. Couldn't sleep due to too much coke during the day.

[Brewman_Jax]

39. Too much coke?

all that soda will just keep you up later.

Did you have any fun this weekend?

[MissHoneychurch]

41. I didn't do anything this weekend

except cleaning my apt a bit more, and chat a lot with some friends at the PC. My plans were postponed to next weekend, that is why I stayed home.

That soda kept me awake the whole fucking night.

[Brewman_Jax]

42. That's what happened

the weekend plans got cancelled. Sorry you'll have to wait a week. :(

[MissHoneychurch]

48. its ok

I look forward to the coming weekend. Last weekend is history. :)

[Brewman_Jax]

51. I get to watch Champion's League football

this week. :woohoo:

I guess I should finish watching the last game, Manchester United vs. Villareal.

[Trigger Hippie]

24. Yes. Only I've already done it and lemme tell you

if you don't change within yourself, a change of scenery won't do any good. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

26. I know

talked about it a lot with gmoney. I know where my problem is, it is just darn tough to change that.

[Trigger Hippie]

27. Yeah, I find changing myself is darn near

impossible. Good luck with your situation...

[MissHoneychurch]

29. thanks, I will get through it

I love your dancing rabbit. Is he doing the Macarena dance? :)

[Trigger Hippie]

30. I don't think that's what it's doing.

I'm not really sure, but it looks a bit dirty. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

32. no matter what it is dancing

it ishilarious :rofl:

I am staring at it and get hypnotized :eyes:

[hippiechick]

28. Every morning when I wake up

n/t

[xmas74]

34. You know the answer.

If I ever get the money it's a done deal.

[MissHoneychurch]

35. yes I know

and it would be the best thing happening for you and your daughter :hug:

[xmas74]

36. I think so too.

Quicker we leave the better it would be.

[MissHoneychurch]

37. do you play the lottery?

maybe you get lucky and win the money :) (I know silly suggestion, except I can't think of anything else anymore)

[xmas74]

38. Sometimes, when I'm bored and have a couple of dollars.

Gotta get the money somehow

[MissHoneychurch]

46. as long as you don't rob a bank

:D

[xmas74]

47. I'll find something else instead

[MissHoneychurch]

49. yes you do

I am looking forward to the day when you tell me you are moving

[xmas74]

55. that will be a happy day in this house

[The2ndWheel]

40. Currently

wondering if I could get somewhere with a couple thousand bucks. It's something I think about far too much probably. Possibly too chicken to do it as well. But maybe that match will strike sooner rather than later.

[jane_pippin]

43. Oh, only since I was born.

Only half-joking there. I think at some point everyone has that thought. I moved away once, and here I am, back at square one, so to speak (I moved for school then came back to finish at a different school).
I'm feeling the need to take off again-this time across the country instead of within the state. I just got a second job so I can save money to get out of dodge. Thinking about leaving is pretty much the only thing that keeps me showing up at my main, money-makin' job.

Hang in there. Either you'll make peace with where you're at or you'll come up with a plan to get out. Whatever you do, try to make the most of what you have where you are--use the experience to inspire you somehow. Sometimes that's all you can do to stay sane.

[huskerlaw]

44. I'm in the process of doing it.

I'm moving halfway across the country in 2 weeks. 1500 miles away from nearly all friends and family, starting a completely new career. I'm really, really excited about it. Sure, I've had "WTF AM I DOING" moments, but they've been relatively few and far between.

I'll let you know how it goes. ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

45. please do

I would be excited too.

[merh]

50. I have no choice but to start over.

I want the life I had before Katrina, but it ain't going happen. x(

Whatcha gonna do, but do what you have to do? :hi:

[fudge stripe cookays]

54. Love you, merh.

Keep being brave, sweetie! You're an example to us all!

FSC :hi:

[merh]

56. Thanks for the love and encouragement.

:hug: I'm not brave, just don't know what else to do but try to rebuild. :shrug:

:hug: :loveya:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

58. I'm so sorry Merh

My thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with your family and all the others affected by this senseless tragedy. You, your family and all who were affected by Katrina will remain in my thoughts and prayers

[merh]

59. Thank you.

:hug:

[fudge stripe cookays]

52. I'd pretty much do anything...

like gnawing off my own leg to get out of Texas right now. And I do mean anything.

I have finally gotten reprehensor to understand just how far into the depths of depression I've sunk. We have just about paid off our car, and have only a tiny credit card bit left to pay off.

Last week I started seriously searching for ANYTHING in anywhere more liberal here as a stopping off point before heading to Canada. I have a friend in Seattle looking for me. I am fast losing my ability to do the job I got my degree in (it's become too mentally taxing-- the cognitive problems are starting to bother me). So it'll probably be an easier, and less well paying gig as some sort of admin job. It's so satisfying to finally work my way up to decent pyaing job, then feel unable to do it. :eyes:

We also have to worry about fixing up the house before we move. Which could be expensive, unfortunately. We'll have to sell "as is."

FSC

[RFKHumphreyObama]

53. Yes, believe me I feel like this everyday

My life at the moment is just so incredibly depressing in so many ways.Not that I'm ungrateful that I have food, clothes, shelter and a good family but I would love to do what you described above if there weren't so many obstacles

I can identify with your desire to move to the US or Canada -it would be my ideal dream as well

[wildhorses]

57. ubeccha

[RedCloud]

60. No way! The universe will spit us back out billions of times anyway.

That is my estimate on the low order of infinity. So many universes and alternate universes. So much space. But mainly (the higher order of infinity) we will never come back or so it will seem. But what will we care, if we don't exist yet?

(info gathered from potential eggs and lost sperm.)

[leftofthedial]

61. that's what I'm doing right now

[bicentennial_baby]

62. Yep

and I have been in that process for a while. It's wonderful, and my future looks incredible :)

[Taverner]

63. Of course

Who doesnt?

[RetroLounge]

64. What? And miss all the drama and chaos?

No way...

RL

[Fox Mulder]

65. Every day.

[Wapsie B]

67. Oh yes,

all the time. I'm in the process of doing just that.

[LaraMN]

68. Yep, and I can think of a good, sudsy place to start.

[AlienGirl]

69. Only if I can start off as the baby of a tremendously rich family

The things I could do, if I'd been born with Paris Hilton's money...

What I'd like best would be getting born rich, pretty, with a good singing voice, and smart. It does happen, occasionally. However, the odds of getting born extremely poor-to-starving are exponentially greater, so I'm afraid to spin that roulette wheel again...odds are I'd lose.
