Does anybody have any experience with running away from home? Really going away and really never coming back. I want to disappear without a trace and start my own live, away from my past, away from my problems.
But you’ll only find a new place with new, likely worse problems and no support system at all to help you when you get in trouble. Better the problems you know in a place you know than ones you don’t. Stick it out where you are.
The problem with running is that eventually you’ll get tired while you problems get stronger. It’s like running down a snowy mountain from a big snowball, you keep running in one direction, the snowball just gets bigger and bigger and will catch up with you. Take it from me, I let that snowball get big and now I have to face reality and try to deal with the problems even if it is crushing and freezing me. I’m 23 and I have regrets above my head, I feel like I’m 33.
My point is try to deal with the problems now before they get too big and mess you up. People my age and I’m sure yours too areliving life and having fun. I use to have that but I took it for granted and I let my problems get stronger from bottling it up and not dealing with them.

Trust me on this one. For me there are no reasons to stay. And no good reason to stay is a good reason to go.
I have already collected €4200 and $300. Packet my bag (hide it in the bag of my closet) and planned my first part of my journey into the unknown.
How much money do you think you’ll be able to pull together by the time you leave?
Enough for food, water and shelter (if you don’t want to live rough) for a few months?
And where do you plan to go?
You’re too young to do this.
