Signs it's time to leave

I feel like an anomaly in my life.

Even in my generation.

I live in a small town, I don't have an atar.

I didn't go to university.

I went through adveristy.

I have a full time job in government, which I managed to get

by the age of seventeen.

I own my own car, insurance included.

I have had to be independant my whole life.

It's too expensive in this remote town to move out.

Covid happened about 4 months after I graduated.

I was meant to leave and say fuck you to everything.

But I didn't...

I stayed and I helped and I supported my family.

I supported my community by working.

Working away everything.

I finally have more than enough money to leave.

No matter how many times I search into google,

Signs it's time to leave small town

Signs your burnt out

Signs it's time to leave your job.

I want to leave so badly.

But I'm afraid.

What if it's a mistake.

What if I stay.

I keep putting it off.

But I feel like I'm overstaying in this place.

It's time.
