i can relate tremendously anon, i think about exit each and every day. however, it doesn't seem feasible to me. usually i have pretty high self-esteem but when i imagine myself homesteading, living off the land, etc, i can only imagine myself utterly failing at it. i've lived in cities all my life and every time i've been on vacations / visited relatives on the countryside the difference between cityfolks and people who grew up in rural areas are striking. but yes, of course the prime reason or motive for this is escape, escape "modernity" if you want it, escape all the troubles modern life brings, all the expectations of studying hard, a high paying career, and so on. interesting that you mention working part time since i never thought of that in relation to moving /innawoods/. usually when i envision it i think of it as total isolation, a modern day hermit, recluse. would you think you would still want to have a social life there? or just go to your part time job and not interact with people otherwise? if you have any reading recs i appreciate it, i recommend kaczynski (obviously), thoreau and arne naess.
