Middle of nowhere

I want to move out in the middle of nowhere: wide open acres of empty grassland surrounding a cozy little cottage at the end of a mile long dirt road. I don't really care if I never see people again, as long as I have myself. I could finally do every weird thing I want without looking for privacy!

If I do get bored, I'd like to go in to town as a different person every time --man, woman, costume, doesn't matter as long as no one sees my true identity. I would have different friends every day too. We might meet at a bar or club and then go to a party or concert or something. I'd mysteriously vanish after each night as I return home and never see them again. I've never been good at keeping friends, then again I've never met anyone worth keeping.

    I've lived like that and it was wonderful! At the time I was young and could only dream of escaping...now I dream to return. People feel the need to be overstimulated...weak minded people. When you are content with life you are able to enjoy alone time with your thoughts, a walk, or a good book. If that's your dream then good luck to you and I hope you achieve it one day!

    That kind of isolated lifestyle is romanticized. I've lived it, and it's terrible. Nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to meet (and even if there were, nowhere to meet them). No way to make money. If you're lucky you'll be able to find a grocery store within a half hour's drive. For anything else, or anywhere else, you're looking at over an hour's drive at minimum.

    Sounds nice, but gets a bit tedious when you have to get in a car (if its working) and go a few miles to buy some bread or some milk and get all the way home to find you have forgotten something.
    When the Winter cuts off your road or the power fails for days or you need a doctor. Having an isolated break is ok, but the wilderness is not for sissies and gets pretty tough if you can't enjoy your own company...maybe nobody else can either.
    Know yourself and you will know others. Accept your failures and you will accept others.
    Find out who you really are and you can enjoy living anywhere... without pretending to be anyone else.

    Are u interested in acting ? I noticed I have thoughts like that too, and most people like us are really into the dramatic arts. Other signs include making faces, making up different personalities/characters, creating different voices... And we find it fun. Just saying :) As an actor you'll be able to do all that stuff.

    I was with u until u started with the ppl thing. I myself enjoy the slow life of the middle of nowhere. However, I have my family and friends down the road a stretch, but it sux now that gas prices r goin up again! Because like it has already been said...20 minutes to the grocery store and an hour to anything else.
