Wild abandon...

Among the many skills one should have in life is the ability to know when to jump ship. Let me be clear - it's not something you should engage in with any regularity of course. You should be getting better at finding ships worth jumping into not off of. But, there may eventually come a time, to which this brave tigress can surely attest, when getting the hell out of a situation is absolutely the right thing to do.
It certainly beats having to walk the plank.
