If you could leave everything behind and start anew

[khaine21x3 789]

Leaving everyone you knew including your old job , your family , friends and the old environment but you're able to move anywhere in the world and lead any kind of life.

 

Sometimes I thought of permanently moving away from civilization just so I can enjoy a somewhat naturalist lifestyle but I realize the hard labor needed and the danger of being so far away from medical facilities so it just remains a fantasy.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,833]

I wouldn't leave, not because of any reason other than that leaving would hurt the people I care about, and I would never do that, no matter what way I'd benefit.

[Dev 251]

Well, not that I'd want to, because I love my life.

 

But if I did, I would become a mass murderer, taking the lives of others because I was denied the right to have my own. I wouldn't be able to make a new start because I'd be too confused and insane and busy murdering people. That is my honest answer, take or leave.

Yes! I hate my job, I hate where I live and I never see my family anyway. So If the opportunity presented its self I would leave straight away.

What's stopping you if you have absolutely nothing to lose? There are lots of opportunities to work  in or migrate to other countries.

[Inactive01 5,298]

I am not the adventurous type. I have already been doing a lot of moving in my lifetime and have already done so recently. It's a painful process, especially since I had to leave so much sheet music and DVDs behind in Indonesia to move (again) to Canada.

A massive mountain of debt is what is holding me back if I was debt free I would be gone, Screw this place. I have a friend in the us who would let me move into his house for a while and that is exactly what Im going to do if I ever figure out a way to rid of my debt.

What happens if you declare bankruptcy or even move to another country and never return so you never have to pay back the debt?

[Yourmomsponies 444]

I'd perfer to go back to the US.

But I'm Happy where I'm at. I have good friends and My family is okay. 

Although I do despise going to a school as small as the one I go to. (200 highschoolers)

[silvadel 1,393]

New land on earth?  No way.  I couldn't even fathom why one would want to. 

 

New land on equestria?  Sign me up in that case.  Now there is something I can't get here.

[Sugarcube 213]

I have no.desire to do such a thing. I am very close to my sister and family, same with my friends. And I could never never NEVER leave my boyfriend and my dear dog. Home is with my boyfriend, to just leave and start over somewhere without him would mean to loose my home

[Killian Jones 2,653]

I'm not too fondly attached to the place I live. And considering that getting a job would require any kind of moving anyway, it is not unlikely for such a situation to occur.

[Betez 1,734]

I honestly don't know. I'd have to actually be put into that situation in order to know what I'd do. I think fear of the unknown may get the best of me on this one. I've gotten so used to where I am, and I've fallen in love with it.

If an amazing once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presented itself, I'd probably take it. I'm not overly attached to my college life and I hardly ever see my family anyway.

[PlunderSteed 1,251]

Nope. I've spent the past 10+years working VERY hard to be where I am. No interest in starting over. Still, new experiences are important to me. Once this chapter in my life is finished, I will be open to starting anew on my own terms (and financially/socially secure).

[Rainbow Dash 1,471]

@@mycarhasaMoustache, your username. I like it.

Anyways getting back to the topic seeing as most of my family is either dead or on their last leg, yes. My friends will still be with me in memory. I would want to start a new life in a farmland that i own. working in the hot sun while listening to dubsteb/house/tance/dance/metal on speakers and not  headphones would be hella tight. and off-roading in the vast amounts of space i would have would be heaven. My current life isnt bad but there is alot of room for improvement i can't make due to circumstances. 

[HallowsEve 52]

I couldn't do it. I did it once a few years ago. I don't think i could do it again. It tore me up last time I did it. Now I just have more to lose if I left.

 

So..

 

Nope nope nope.

[Scootalove 10,684]

I would not leave everything behind to start fresh.

Unless, you can count the high school I am in currently. I would so leave behind that, without thinking about it.

[Archangel 143]

Well that depends, would this new land include Spaceships? An increase in interest in science? A dramatic decrease to the seemingly high population of morons on the world?

 

Then heck yeah I'd be over there!

 

However, if said new land didn't have any of those things, I'd rather just stay right where I am.

[SrFrog 926]

Done and done! I guess it's difficult to start anew in completely different land, but I think I like it better like this. No one knew me, and that made it all the easier to live without  those negative things that had been associated with me.

 

Yeah, that was a smart move...

[Lunas Husband 2,777]

It sounds wrong.. but yes.. I would.

 

I don't have any family... what "Friends" I do have most of the time we don't say 2 words to each other... and  they have soo many friends as it is.. so they well be fine without me... and the only friend that would more then likely miss me.. would be my boss.. 

[ravensilvertail 34]

I would but I would take my two iPods, computer, CD player, and all my CDs.

 

I love my playlists. Several songs speak to me personally.

[Ribbonfree 2,383]

As much of an escapist as I am... as of now, I honestly cannot say I have the heart to do something like this. People I know have given me a lot and even if I'm still personally not where I want to be I won't sacrifice those who helped me get as far as I have. Besides, I still need to prove to myself that I can accomplish what I want.

[Tetrakemy 221]

If it meant I could have something far better then what I have right now. I would do it right away.

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 637]

I put a maybe. I've had thoughts about "What would it be like leaving everything behind and going to a new land?". I don't really have severe depression, but I have my thoughts where I wish I could leave.

 

BUT! I could not, because I do have a loving family and my very few close friends I care for. I do not have a lot of friends, but my very few I care deeply for. I could never leave all this D:
