only if the response to feeling stuck in someone elses template is doing something random hasty, that you haven't thought through.

before doing anything you should figure out what you want from your life. set goals, check if they are realistic and then take steps to explore.

for example, instead of just moving out, i would have tried travelling. go to another city for a week or a month. try it on for size. take small steps to turn the life that you have into the life that you want.

i was kind of in a similar situation, where i felt stuck in a life without perspective, and decided to move my whole family to another continent, giving up friends and a regular routine for a life of uncertainty and chaos (that wants to be tamed). i don't regret the move, as i have no desire to go back, but i wish i would have been able try first before making a commitment.
