I find that it's always better to face my fears instead of running away from them....of course, it took me nearly a lifetime to learn this. I wish I knew back then what I know now but then I would never have had the benefit of a teacher named experience, to help me navigate through the pitfalls of life!

You don't say what the decision is or what you want to run away from but my suggestion is to talk about it with someone older who you can trust like a teacher or a relative. At that age, we need help from others, older then us who have been in our shoes. There is no need to go it alone in this life and there are many willing to help. Don't be afraid to ask.

God Bless!.

I actually did do this....I was older than you when I did it, but I took off and moved to another state half way across the country and started over. There were some definite advantages, but in all honesty, your problems follow you wherever you go, at least mine did. Several years later, I ended up moving back home and actually resolving my issues through therapy....still in therapy, still a work in progress, but considerably better than I ever have been.
So, yes, I can completely understand wanting to push the restart button and start over....Does it solve everything? For me, it was just a temporary solution, but everyone's different.
Wishing you the best in your search for peace....

You're not alone, I feel you
