AITA for leaving my home?

So I (21M) come from a pretty well off family that's pretty important in the area, because of this I'm constantly expected to take over the "family business" so to speak by my coworkers and the local citizens, and be some kind of pillar for my community... I love the people here, some very deeply... and I do love the legacy I come from, but I don't want this. I want to be free and see all there is in this world we live in! I want to get out there and see for myself the full extent of what life has to offer me, friendship,hatred,love,pain,lust, I want to imbibe all these things because if I don't...or if I just stay chained down here ignoring the sweet siren call on the wind...how can I truly say I'm free?

This decision is going to hurt people, some much more than others. It'll be seen as a betrayal, abandonment, selfishness, and I'm positive vengeance will be a topic of discussion in some circles, but I'm not totally leaving everyone high and dry! I've already put in a recommendation with the higher ups for someone I know that has the passion and ability to protect the peace here, nobody is more deserving of the role than she is, and I know she'll look after everyone personally too...so with that in mind AITA?
