'In any given moment, there are two options; to step forward into growth or to step back into safety...'- Abraham Maslow''It was true. I knew it. I felt it growing louder everyday. First a murmur. Then a hum. As I made the commute to the office, everyday, it got louder still. Then everyday my mind shouted at me - 'There has to be more than this!'I realised then, that I simply couldn't live the same year 60 times in a row, and call it 'my life.''Gylisa is bored of the life she is expected to lead, and craves change. Stuck in a rut, working to pay the bills and missing out on everything in between, she realises that monotony isn't safe at all. It's a life sentence. When her boyfriend, Ryan offers a solution, albeit a risky one. She knows she has to take it. It's now, or never.With just a duvet, some clothes and their car, they leave their old lives behind without a second glance, pulling back the arrow and shooting it with no real target in sight.

But with nothing left to do but count down the days until 'Real Life' begins, they learn how to survive, and grow - on the way.This is her memoir based on the diary she kept during this time. (less)
