Hi Meg,
I definitely think the 'running away' aspect holds an appeal for me. I love my family but they are a messed up bunch. Lots of people need/demand attention and because I do love them, I'm always there to babysit/listen to problems/stroke egos/share problems etc. The idea of being over the other side of the world gives me such a sense of freedom. I know I'll miss people too (especially my mum - about the only person who doesn't suck the energy out of me!) but Australia feels very liberating in the sense that it's just me and other other half living our lives for us.
We have a few problems with people putting guilt trips on us too. Sometimes it feels like it's all about other people... Stay strong and try and block them out.
Anyway, interesting thread. Home and Away's on now though so TV beckons! Got to get my fix of sunshine and beaches.
Em x
