I feel like an anomaly in my life.
Even in my generation.
I live in a small town, I don't have an atar.
I didn't go to university.
I went through adveristy.
I have a full time job in government, which I managed to get
by the age of seventeen.
I own my own car, insurance included.
I have had to be independant my whole life.
It's too expensive in this remote town to move out.
Covid happened about 4 months after I graduated.
I was meant to leave and say fuck you to everything.
But I didn't...
I stayed and I helped and I supported my family.
I supported my community by working.
Working away everything.
I finally have more than enough money to leave.
No matter how many times I search into google,
Signs it's time to leave small town
Signs your burnt out
Signs it's time to leave your job.
I want to leave so badly.
But I'm afraid.
What if it's a mistake.
What if I stay.
I keep putting it off.
But I feel like I'm overstaying in this place.
It's time.
