Have you ever had those days that you just wanted to get in the car and just drive. Drive so far away that no one could find you. I feel that way a lot. Sometime on my way to work, I think, Why don't you just keep going, don't look back, just go as far as you can. I feel like if I did. My life would be so much better. That all the things that keep going wrong would finaly turn around and go right for once. Have you ever felt like that?

I want to so bad just drive til i cant drive anymore. I have so much frustration built up inside me that i could burst. Problem is i have a child and i cant do that. But sometimes i want to go to the park and just think of how my life turned and truthfully its sucks but sometimes driving makes u think alot and just keep driving till the frustrations are gone but thats just me how about you

I know the flustrations. you see, I am in a bad marriage. A marriage where I am put down all the time, I can't do anything right, I feel the only reason he wants me around is so he doesn't have to do anything himself. If I could just get the nerve, I would, I would get in my car and never look back. I would drive so far away. But, it's just building the nerve..

This is a very good question and I am sure that there are a lot of people who like to just jump in a car and drive and see where they end up even though gas prices used to be really high so it made it difficult to drive places,but now that gas prices are coming down again,it is not as expensive to go out places and I am also sure that some people like to have a routine and do not like to do things on a moments notice or spontaneously and I do not blame them because I have OCD and I like to follow schedules and routines but there are times that I want to just get in the car and drive,especially when my parents are pissing me off,or if I am in the mood to leave the house,and I am sure that my fiance has had this feeling from time to time too,and there are times we want to get out of the house but we do not know where to go,and sometimes I wish we could just be spontaneous and jump into my fathers truck since that is what we are driving now,and just pick a direction and start driving,but the economy is in pretty bad shape,and me and my fiance are having trouble finding a job,so we have to depend on our online earnings to help us survive and I do not think we could afford to just start driving especially since we are saving for our wedding,and planning for our wedding,which is set for September of next year,and we still have a while to get everything but time is flying by fast,and before long it will be January and we will have to start doing the invitations and stuff.

Yes, it is sometime to expencive just to jump in the care and drive. But the point I was getting at. is that sometime the everyday, so old, so old, starts to get to you. And sometimes, I just want to go far far away. And congrats on your wedding. Hope you found the true love you have always dreamed of. And with Gods blessing may it be a long, long love.

I've felt that way many times in my life. Actually I had only had the courage the drive lately, in fact this year. It happened when I had bought myself a car. After I got the confidence to drive, I felt so free and happy when I drive. I think I can go anywhere I want without having to depend on others to take me there.
And when I fight with my husband, I always felt I wanted to get away. I imagined of driving my car to a place where nobody can find me. I want to drive so far away. I want to be alone and enjoy the freedom of being in a place with nobody to think and take care of.
But until now, I have never done the things I wanted to. Maybe I just don't have the courage yet. Or maybe that is not the best solution to my problems. Running away is not a permanent solution, it is just an escape and gives me temporary freedom. After that, the problem will be doubled because I have to face the trouble of explaining where I had been missing.

There have been a number of times where I've felt like just getting into my car and driving around and not really caring where I end up. Sometimes I'd just like to drive for the sake of driving, but I don't have the money, nor the time to just jump in a car and drive. Sometimes I think it'd be nice though.

Absolutely. In fact whenever I go back to my home country(I don't have a car where I'm currently based), I always do a mini roadtrip. Of course I have to convince my wife not to come, therwise it wouldn't be so much fun.

Yes, I do sometimes and it is normal to have days like that and to feel this way. I just cant keep my doggie, Minnie in the car too long because it makes her nervous. We probaly all think about it if the truth be known!

I wish I really could do that! I go to college right now and when I come back after going home I just wish I could keep driving, act like that exit didn't exist. It didn't help when I figured out that the interstate I'm on would lead me straight into Vegas where its all warm. Its snowing where I am right now and I am huddled up in blankets, lol. I could be all warm and enjoying the bright lights...hahaha. I suppose my degree is more important though. Darn.
