start a new life
05.03.2016 von yBeB

I imagine that:

I have a plane crash in which there are many dead people. I am one of the livings. But unfortunately, my identity card changed with one of the dead people. So, all my relatives and friends suppose that I died. Then, what happens is
I start a new life in which there is no need to fake anymore or I am faking how I like. (Of course, I need to change my environment before people get use to me again so that when I am bored from this faking, have another one or do not have. And people do not ask "what happened to you?".)

Who else have this imagination or find it very convenient for us?

I sometimes imagine being stuck on an isalnd aswell. The thought of being isolated from society and not having to fake anymore brings me peace.

WOW......

I've sort of done this in a way, many times, to varying extremes.
I'll try to be normal for a while, get jobs or start studies, get into groups and start associating with people, but it's a very finite time before I realise it's not working, and just stop. I move house (I do this a lot) quit jobs, change my phone number and email, stop speaking to everyone I was associated with, even changed my name once. And start over. I haven't been able to completely disregard my relatives without drama, both of which I find disturbing, so I make do with keeping things with them superficial, polite, and as far as I am able infrequent, so they're not really privy to anything that's going on in my life.
Maybe we're hoping for a situation that will make us want to stay? I don't know.
