from Mark Twain:
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Ofcourse this quote isn’t strictly true.. There are things that I would regret in 20 years if I did them now.. (eg give in to the tempation to run away :-) But there are alot of things that I CAN do .. or at least try.

Oh, yes, I understand the running away part completely.
I really like that quote - there are so many paths we can choose to go down.
That’s what drove me to give up my life in London 3 years ago (quit my job and sold everything I owned) to go travelling, because I didn’t want to end up an old lady regretting never having done it.
But of course, at the time I had no real responsibilities… that helps
