My judgement isn't soleley based on economy and gas prices, those are just some of the reasons that have recently come up in discussion and were still in the front of my mind. I have many reasons, I was just trying to be concise, because it's early and im tired. Honestly my main reason is just a feeling of being tied down. I feel like if I stay here something will happen and I won't even have the option of leaving anymore. I'm not saying only bad things either. I mean like getting married, having kids, or getting a job that keeps me here. I feel like if I get into the rat race I will never get out. And I don't feel like that is living. I might just be being pessimistic by having a "the grass is always greener" kind of attitude, but thats just how I feel. Thank you for giving me a real response. And I'm wondering what kind of BS is coming my way...
