I'm ditching my old life
Why would you want to ditch your life?
I want to create a new life!
I approve of your decision to start anew, it's good to turn over a new leaf when things aren't working out. Staying in the past will get you nowhere.
Ya, IF ONLY PEOPLE WOULD UNDERSTAND THIS SIMPLE TRUTH.
Well you don't have to worry about others, as long as you understand it.  I wish you all the luck in starting your new life.
