RE: Ever Wanted to Just Pack Up Your Life and Move Far Far FAR Away?
I still want to pack up my stuff and run away to some far away, beautiful country. Not really to get away from anything here though, besides the fast paced life of the west...
I would just love to see other places and I think my main problem is that I haven't been on a real, far away vacation for too long...
Interesting you would say that... most of the time I have had a desire to go somewhere else has been because I wanted life to be "slower" and "less." I am really not one of those ambitious *"something must be happening all the time!" types-- quite the opposite. A new location always held the promise of a "slower" life...
Yes, exactly. I'm not really a big fan of the hasty life of the west. On the other hand, I do quite like the facilities that come with it. Clean, running water, proper food in shops, good health care, etc.
It's just that this life of the west comes with quite a bit of stress if you're not super careful. Sometimes, it's really out of your hands if you want to be able to afford a good enough life.
I sometimes wish I could get myself a little house on the edge of a forest, with my own little garden where I can grow my own fruits and veggies and partially live off the land. I'd still need money to provide for the other part of the food and other stuff though, so it's a nice dream, but no reality.
Oh well, we need to have dreams, right?
