Have you ever left everything behind?
    #23672689 - 09/23/16 11:51 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Has anyone ever left everything behind?  I mean friends, family, and everyone you knew...and moved somewhere else far away that you had never been before?

Or maybe you didn't do it intentionally, but circumstances caused it to happen?

I left everything material behind, and I mean everything, me, my wife and daughter spent an entire year in a tent. I quit my job, left everything we owned in the house we were renting and just left it all behind. It's liberating to know you can make it without anything, but its scary at first because we're so conditioned and dependent.

That was roughly 6 months ago, and now I'm back in a small house, but I only went back to living like this because of the awesome job offer and super cheap rent which keeps me loaded with free time but living very comfortably) my job is in my back yard, and I have no schedule, I can work 1 hour or 12 hours if I want). That's really what it all came down to, living in a tent is difficult, and having an air conditioner and a heater is pretty fucking awesome. Very glad we spent a year in the forest though, learned a lot, bonded deeper, etc.

There was a 2 or 3 year period in my life when I had no contact with any family whatsoever, and it didn't bother me too much, as strange is it may sound I never felt a connection with my mother or my brothers, and them being gone didn't cross my mind much. I can imagine it would be extremely difficult to let them go if you were very attached, but it's all just thoughts. Since you are the witness of thought you're beyond them.

yeah. I got into college a week before September after being really far down the waitlist. Quit my job. Packed up my apartment into storage and left half way across the country with a car load of shit in a week.

The type of thing I'm talking about pertains less to material possessions and more to people and places.  So yes, Tmethyl, the time when you went without contact with family members would be a relevant situation.  Maybe consider if that time period had been extended (perhaps even indefinitely), and you moved to a faraway place or region that you had never been to before.

But have you ever come to a point where you completely lost contact with everyone you previously knew (friends, family etc) forever?

I've done it many times with my wife.  So not completely alone. 

It was always intentional.

When I was younger it wasn't that weird.  Things were new anyway, so leaving them and starting another new thing with new people didn't seem that strange. 

I moved about every year since I was born and growing up to a new school, new city, and sometimes new state

But after settling down and really getting into a groove with my career and life it was really strange to pick up and move to another country. 

It was different.  I stopped talking to pretty much all of my friends and family, quit my career, and started a completely new life. 

My mind became so much more broadened.  I had great times and bad times, and after a couple years I decided to completely change the direction of my life.  I went into a new career, started acting differently, dressing differently. 

Moving that time to another country really got me out of a rut I was stuck in at the time.  I am so glad I did it.

On the other hand, the saying "no matter where you go, there you are" is also applicable.  No matter who and what I left behind, I was still me.  I think one thing I learned was to gain some peace of mind and acceptance for who I am, flaws and all.  "Know thyself" are wise words.  A man who knows himself well will be happier.

Anyway, I highly recommend it if you have the opportunity to get away from wherever you are at, to see how things are done in another part of the world.  You can't help but gain a lot of wisdom out of it.  If nothing else it's a cool story to tell your grandkids.

Once I did that, I moved to an area for a bit and didn't know anyone, no friends, no family, nobody.  Wasn't bad either, I got work in about a months time, and things weren't bad.


I will probably be making a major move by myself near the end of next year.
