Are you in the market?

Have you ever experienced the overwhelming urge to throw your hands up in the air, pack up a small bag of your top possessions and leave the world you live in? A world of possibilities awaits us all. And then we get slapped into reality with a phone ringing, or a bill dropping from the sky, and the moment of open ended what-ifs are gone for the time being.

Well, this guy seems to have no qualms washing his hands of every responsibility he has slaved for his whole life. And his matter-of-fact way to sell and walk away seems so straight forward it's unthinkable.

The real questions become: Is this man so ready for change and exploration that he can forego a lifetime's prizes meant for enjoyment and modern convenience? Or has he maybe watched Fight Club a few too many times and will regret this most hasty of decisions about 5 minutes too late?

"The things you own end up owning you."
"If I could wake up at a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?"
"If you don't know what you want, you end up with a lot you don't."
"Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer... Maybe self-destruction is the answer."
"At the time, my life just seemed too complete, and maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves."
"It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything."
"You're not your f*cking khakis."
