BREAKING AWAY. A complete break, or a partial break.
You do it because you are tired tired tired of what you are doing. I did it after getting my Ph.D. in French. I left New York for San Francisco and the tail end of the Beat scene, before the Hippie madness took over. I was tired of Academia.
How about you? Did you ever break away? Do you want to now? Tell us. We will listen.
Yes, I did too. In 1982 I travel to the US on vacation. In NY, I met the love of my life, and thus started a long distance relationship, with frequent visits both ways. 8 years later, I dropped everything in my native country and moved to New York. I'm still here.
