Life seems so draining at times, does it not? Have you eveer felt like just getting up and walking away from everything? I mean seriously, leave everything behind and just go away and start a new life where noone knows you? Nocturnica

Running away from problems is not the right solution. Face it head on no matter what. This way, you'll learn to handle the worst ones. Sometimes, it gets fixed even before you know it. If you want to get away from it, then do so, for awhile to reflect on things but you have to face it sooner.

Wow, I must have totally worded my original discussion all wrong. I was not even thinking of problems. I was thinking of just leaving everything behind going someplace new and fun, you know, just enjoying life.

hi I have seen a lot of ups and downs in my life. Some of those experiences are horrible and some other simply joyous. I have learned lessons from my life that destiny guides the life. No matter what I plan or do. So, just by running away from the problems actually never helped me. I felt it grabed me even tighter. So, i tell my children to face the problem and finish it off permanently rather than leaving it and trying something new.

Sometimes yes, when things are so stressing I guess. When I feel there is no one who loves me. But when I count my blessings I just smile, and would just stop thinking that way. Good night!

Yes, that was more what I was thinking, just getting up and going, with no plans, not looking for anything except for away time!

Yeah, I used to think that way too when times are really not what you want it to be, when problems arise, when you're tired of everything you encounter everyday, the list goes on... And sometimes, I just think what if I just go somewhere where no one knows me? just for adventure? But it did not happen because whatever trials in life there's always the solutions, the answers, the compromises, the contentment... For adventure sake? I'm going to a new place but not to live there forever, just for afew months to do something worthwhile.

Yes i know what you mean all to well. Just run away and leave everything behind try to start over. I think about that alot and it is funny you should bring that up. I was just talking to the hubby about that today. Just run away leave everything behind. I think alot of people feel like sometimes. But i hope things will get better if you know what i mean. So take care.
