Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Running away didn't really solve anything, it was a freeing experience, although, I always had a place to stay, so it wasn't a complete out on my own. I had trips that I went on for basketball then would go stay at a teammates house on our AAU team, or whatever.
I guess it put my family through a bit of a twist because it just grabbed them by surprise and well, it wrecked them as I was gone for a few weeks. In the end it really accomplished nothing, but just felt necessary at the time.
gets to me every time
fixin on runnin away these days.

And to answer the question, I did when I was like 4. I took a bag with all my Fisher Price Little People in it and that is it.
That's got to be one of the saddest, yet cutest things I've ever read.
mindi,
I am originally from Iowa not Washington state.
And you are right, my speach and my accent are both altogether
different than the people from up here.

but its only something ive done since about 18, and maybe isnt analagous to running away as a kid seeing as im grown-up-ish now!
I hope you didn't take my reply the wrong way. I wasn't trying to be mean, I really was just wondering. One of my best friends lives in OK and she says y'all and fixin, all the time, I love it!
I am from St Louis and when I travel everyone says I have an accent, I swear I don't tho
I moved in with my boyfriend of the time in March 2001. My parents thought he was just getting his own place and I was staying with him at his folks for his last weekend there. I called my Dad up on the Monday afternoon (I should've gone to college) and told him i'd moved out. Just when you thought I couldn't get anymore selfish... Only 3 months earlier, my Dad had suffered a horrific life threatening accident that he is still, to this day, having treatment for. After several rows, raised voices and unnecessary stress on a very ill man, I went to get my stuff. My Dad then didn't speak to me for 2 years.
I'm now 24 and never did move back home. I visit and stay over regularly at my folks and even after all that's been and gone, it is still home.
I now get on great with my parents (better than before infact, especially my Dad) and i'm really happy in my life. My parents have a lot of respect for me and the person i've become. I've had life experience and i've made my own mistakes, I know my parents are proud of me. I also know, should I need to, I can move back anytime I like.
Running away like that was probably the stupidest but best decision I ever made... but then, I have hindsight. It caused excessive heartache that's taken years to heal and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Peace
I do the same... every now and then I just vanish... but there's nobody to notice me gone so it's not quite the same . I've 3 housemates, we all get on great but if I went missing for a week I doubt they'd even think anything is up... which I suppose should be a little bit worrying. If something DID happen to me, I wonder how long it would be before someone noticed
Never ran away as a kid though... often thought about it but never had the motivation.
