No, I wish I had the courage. I am supposed to graduate in a few months (although, I might fail considering I haven't worked on my paper at all... it's too overwhelming), I suppose I could try and just dissapear after I finish colege. Idk if there would be a point to it though. I can't really run from myself.
Yeah, not having the courage is a big reason I haven't done this yet.
Tried it 3 times and each one failed miserably. The circumstances of which are little in-depth, but tl;dr I kept being fucked over by outside factors I had no control over. I can elaborate if anybody wishes.
I'd be interested in reading if you want to share. This is another big reason I haven't tried yet. Sometimes things happen that's out of your control. Having family as a safety net if things get really bad is an amazing luxury.

I have been looking around and applying to jobs. My main plan was to get a new job and then move. I have some money saved up that I could stay in a hotel for a while until I can find a long term rental.
I didn't really think about fast food places. I've been applying to jobs in my field. I don't really want to have a fast food job, but I acknowledge that I either need to choose to have a crappy job, but live in a place I actually like; or stay at my good job here, but have a crappy living situation. I don't think I can have both, at least not right now with my current skill set.
I should look into that. My uncle did mention that he has a friend who has employees who are looking to move, so he needs a new manager. That job comes with free housing. The employees haven't left yet, so there's no job posting. I'm hoping if I can't get a job on my own I can work there. I'll definitely be putting in an application as soon as I can.
About 15 years ago I met a woman who would go to a different country every few months or so and just find a job when she got there. These were countries with very low cost of living, so it was feasible for her. I definitely wouldn't sign a long-term lease anywhere unless you had a job lined up, though.
Yeah, being homeless with no savings is worse than being homeless with some savings. At least if things don't work out you can go back home.
In this economy honestly don't, you won't be any happier because for the first few years you'll be struggling to make ends meet by yourself. Family can be a bitch (trust me I hate my hometown too) but being homeless is even worse. My parents both did that in the 90s and although they struggled it was easier back then to make money and they got themselves out, you can't do that now. They told me that they feel pity for people of this generation because it's impossible to make it out without any support.
Maybe find a job that's close to your current city to get a temporary escape or just hangout over there and make friends there as if you're a new person.
Yeah, this is my thought too. I've seen stories of people who just left and became a ranch hand and things just worked out for them. One guy on YouTube I watch lived in a crappy basement apartment and fixed laptops and phones in a park for money until he was able to turn his situation around. But all these stories happend before 2010. Things weren't nearly as bad 30 or 40 years ago as they are now.
I mostly posted this to see if I'm just being defeatist and am choosing to be miserable by not doing anything to change my situation or if things are just too fucked for me to really be able to fix things.
