Jessica,

What an ordeal! Glad you are OK now. Just wanted to comment on your words 'I wanted to sell all of my belongings, build a raft & just wash out to sea!'.

One of the most famous poets in Chinese history, Li Po, had written a similar phrase. After describing his sorrow of saying farewell to his best friend (who was relocating to another place), he said that 'since this life is so unsatisfying, I am going to let down my hair and sail the raft [in the river].

Chinese men used to keep long hair because Confucius had said that one should not inflict any damage to the body that is given by one's parents. (Back in his time, 3000 years ago,'tatooing' was becoming a fad)The long hair tradition went away after the Republic was established in 1911and people were no longer 'forced' to keep long, breaded hair style decreeded by the Manchu Dynasty which was established by a NorthEastern tribe.

'Sailing away' is obviously a universal desire to 'get away'.
