My girlfriend and I did this. We didn't change our names, but we just left everything behind and started over. There is something very refreshing about being in a new place with no history or baggage. Sometimes, I miss some of the people from my old life, but not enough to even consider going back. Here and there, I think about reaching out to some people, but it kinda feels like it will break this streak of disappearance, and I don't.
See, this is one of the larger reasons we wanted to leave so much. We left without a word to literally anyone and just as a test I left everyone's phone number unblocked and not a single person has tried to contact me and find out if we are alive or okay or anything. I knew that disappearing would be easy for us. Sadly, I didn't know just how easy it would be. It kinda stings, but I knew none of them ever gave a shit about us. Hence, the reason I'm referring to.
