We've all been left behind by someone haven't we? Maybe that's what instigates that desire to roam whenever we feel trapped. My mother always used to threaten me with leaving. When I finally left for college I was thrilled, because I was escaping the environment I'd grown to feel trapped in. But she cried and cried because I was "leaving her". I thought she was being dramatic, since I wasn't going that far and I'd come to visit but I also thought that it was ironic that she had always threatened me with leaving me and here she was crying because I was leaving her. I always feel the apathy kicking in the minute people mention leaving. Maybe the threat is meant to get you to behave. If you're not good enough, they'll go somewhere better, to someone better. But it can also backfire because the person who's taunting you can be the one whose left behind.
