I would run down the lane and into the night, run so fast I swear my feet would fly

I've talked before about how sometimes I think about what it would be like to have a completely different life, in a completely different place. Yesterday I was in Starbucks and I had a strong urge to get away from college, from Basingstoke and from myself, and just get a train somewhere and do something completely different for a week. Not because I want to escape from my life or run away, but because I just want to do something different, or be someone else for a little while. I don't want to have to worry/think about college for a bit. I want to just be somewhere else, working in an animal shelter or a hospice. I want to put all my energy into helping someone else other than myself.

Do you ever feel like you just need to get away? Not because you're unhappy, but because you just want to?

I am sick of the barriers, but I'm working to knock them down now. I am empowering myself.
