I don't have a girlfriend but even if I did (this being High School) eventually we'd break up and never see each other again. I like my friends fine, but when I go to college we'll keep in contact for a time and forget each other. My parents would anyway have to get used to my absence when I went off to college, we'd only see each other once a year or so anyway (my parents see their parents even less often) and my brother and me aren't incredibly close. He'd feel loss in an abstract way that I was gone, but not soul-shattering loss. I'd just leave them all a detailed note, they might not like it and my parents would definitely be sad. But they'd be sad about me leaving home anyway.The only bonds I'd have a hard time dropping would be if I had children under 18, or a woman I loved.As for real life? I don't know. There is adventure out there I know, and I've thought about grasping it. But thats years in the future and in the end I don't know if I'd have the courage to just go out and travel just like that. Too often its easy to just fritter away an opportunity. In this case I could just say yes, and it would happen.</blockquote>
