Or what do you hope to do about it?

God, I've never felt like I belonged. Part of it has been growing up and living with a visible condition, and part of it is probably the way I'm wired - I am not interested in the noise and lights of the world. Moreover, I'm now repelled by it all.

The superficialness, the hedonism, the rat race, the consumerism and constant need for more, the unrelenting ads, the pollution, the loud noises, the drinking, constant hyper-sexualisation of girls and women, and so on...

I'm a functioning member of society still, working and volunteering and consuming to some degree. I work in charity and run a charity, I do what I'm passionate about. Funnily enough, after all this time I still feel like this way of life isn't for me.

My goal is to move to the countryside. I feel at home in nature. I like animals, I like quiet. I feel like I want to be away from people, even though I know that I need them. Can't imagine a better way to spend my days than sitting in my garden painting, listening to birds. Of course I'll still need to be working, but I'd be largely disconnected from mainstream society.

Does anyone else feel like I do? Have you acted on your feelings?
