Does anyone else want to walk away from work and responsibilities?

Does anyone just feel the urge to leave your life as it is with just your bank card and the clothes you are wearing?? I’ve been feeling completely tied down mainly with work and I just want to go on a never ending hike around the country 😂 obviously I would never do that as I have 2 kids although if they were homeschooled I would really be tempted! Plus no work = no money 😢

Yes, daily. Hourly, sometimes.

Edit: not this country though; fuck this place.

Are you a lone parent? It makes it slightly more difficult to jack your job in if you are the sole breadwinner!

YES I would love to quit my job yesterday but not my life

Fuck, yeah.

Change your job. I had one that I hated, but was stuck in. I now love my work and it doesn’t feel like a tie at all.

Show me someone who doesn't.
In a 40 year working life, I met two.
Both single and workaholics.
