Dai had been driving for three hours. He had been well on his way leaving the state. He thought about all the things that he was leaving behind. And he tried to decide if he was making the right choice.

He thought about all the problems that he had in his life, that warranted this kind of action. He knew in his heart he was not happy. He let his rational side do most of the work. He felt desperate, and in need for a change. This move was drastic, but maybe it was what he needed.

He didn’t want to think of the repercussions, of such a bold move. He didn’t want his friends and family to worry. But at the same time, he knew he was doing this for him, not them. In time they would understand why he had to do this.

He knew that he was not happy in his current situation. He had hoped that there was a promising future ahead of him.
His chance to start fresh.

Before he knew it, he had crossed the state line. He was in another state all together. He felt a sense of calm wash over him. He felt empowered.
