More or less did this when I was 24. Left privileged background of failure (personally and job-wise) for new life on other side of the country.
This meant marriage, poor wages, poor living conditions, nightschool and very hard work. Five years on, became a graduate and researcher en route to senior management.
Almost fifty years on, still married to the same fantastic lass, retired and happy as a pig in muck.
Never did go back to the place of privilege.

Yeah I did that. Went to college 4 hrs away from my small town for a change of pace. Left all my family and friends and moved somewhere where I did not know anyone. It turned out to be the best thing I ever did. It opened me up to the world. I met all these exciting people and the wonderful man I am now married to.

What have a nervous breakdown?
Or run away.
Fake your death?
Turn up wet on a beach in a tux claiming you don't know who you are but able to play beautiful piano.
How about leaving my job and taking a job as a lolly pop man at an infant school.
Mmmm, tempting.

Yes, when I was less mature than now. I've found that it is better to think before I act instead of reacting. If you are implying people too, it's a bad idea. You never know who, later on in life has your back. 'could even be someone you had thought 'bout turning your back on in the present.,

Did that once but couldn't stay away from the family after they traced me with the help of the Salvation Army Missing Persons Bureau. Uncomfortable return.

Did turn my back on my christian faith for nearly a week, but life seemed so totally pointless without it that I went back. A friend said I had not really turned my back on my faith, just took a turning that went the long way round.

Of course! I think about it all the time. What would it be like? I think this way not so much because I'm frustrated with things, but because I think it helps me to appreciate what I have more.
