Greetings everyone. It's been a while😬. I hope you're all doing good.
Back then whenever I got scolded I would always think of running away. I don't know where I got that idea. It's like a comfort to me to think that I would leave that house when I grow up and never come back whenever I felt I was maltreated.
My parents are quite tough and strict back then. I also remember my brother planning to run away when we fight and I threaten him to tell my father that he dared fought me. He knew that our father would take my side so he starts taking out his clothes and folded them to put in his bag. He never go out anyway and I didn't tell my father either for I'm also scared he would get beaten😌.
When I grew up those feelings change and whenever I left the house I felt that a part of me always remain that always pulls me to come back. I saw the same feeling with my daughter that whenever she got scolded by my parents or siblings( I left her on their care when I found a job) that she also tried to run away. I remember her telling me that she pack her clothes and put it In a pail the one with biscuit inside and strode outside. She don't make it far though. Just in the backyard. Make a long pause and go back inside the house. I don't know how this thought was set in my mind that thinking of running away gives me comfort whenever I felt distressed. Even now that I'm working whenever I feel unhappy I would always think that someday I would leave this place and would never comeback.
Hehehe, this is my participation for this week's prompt #44 did you ever try to run away from home
