Freedom!? :)

Well I've quit my Job, left my house and split with my gf

Happy Days.

Has anyone done anything drastic like that?

I'm hoping to travel up to Cairns, road trip in NZ, do some study, then maybe head to the USA.

I've never done anything like that but it sound exciting. It’s only after you’ve lost everything, that you’re free to do anything. Good luck.

Basically you formatted your OS and starting from scratch. Good for you, good luck in whatever you decide to do in the future.

Ahh but see you have already forgotten the first rule.

Good luck with your adventure mate, I wish I had the balls to do something as extreme, maybe when my student debt is finally cleared soon I might plan some travels

Take it easy!

From the title alone, I was about ready to say, "Oh, you got divorced too?"

I'm sort of in the same boat. I just wrapped up a divorce, am crashing with a friend, and have a few job leads at places all over the country. There's been some drastic changes here as well, but I'd say yours seem to be a bit more fun and less pressured!

That sounds great. Keep us posted on how everything goes!

It's an odd happy/scary feeling you get from doing something like this. Not that I've done anything this drastic but I can relate to the feeling of getting rid of a gf that was bad for you from the beginning.

There's a sense of great freedom and a fear of the unknown. What was once familiar is foreign, what seemed sane is unstable. From the sounds of it this is a good move, whatever you do don't look back and think what might have been. Move one and give yourself that clean start that you deserve.

Best of luck!

Did exactly that ... left my gf from one day to another, moved out while she was at work, went to the airport and flew from Germany to Ireland to find a job. This was 8 years ago and gone back only to visit my parents ...

But I'm hoping to just chill out for a while

Speaking of Jobs, My role as a network engineer in melbourne will advertised if anyone wants it
