I Need Someone to Talk to Right Now

Be brave and keep your wits about you. I have done lots of travelling with next to nothing, even in other countries and languages and really, it can be a lot of fun, owning the challenge of it. Keeping yourself in a situational awareness at all times and negotiating life and situations as they arise can give you a lot of confidence and very useful life experience in terms of reading people and seizing opportunities etc.

We really don't need much Stuff. The open road and all the possibilities that await can be sort of exciting, if you stay positive about it... it's great not to keep yourself limited by staying somewhere in a situation that doesn't work for you, just for fear of losing the security of what you are accustomed to. Thats what the vast majority of people do, not realizing that if they even just walk. on foot. continuously in a given direction, their lives could easily change for the better... Go for it honey!

You are young and can probably survive a lot of stuff, and maybe this move is going to be OK. Maybe.

But...I am reading a LOT of danger signals here. First, it is always a mistake, and sometimes a very serious one, to be rushed into any major decision or any relationship. If you are having hesitations and she is rushing you through the decision making process--don't do it. Someone rushing you into a decision is usually doing so to keep you from considering it carefully and clearly; this person feels it is better to get you to do it before you think about it enough to realize it's really not such a good thing for you.

Second, you mentioned that she offered to help you go back for your things but did not follow through on it. You now know she is not entirely reliable. And I don't think you would worry about enough to post on it if somewhere in your mind you were not having second thoughts.

Please do not allow yourself to be rushed into anything.

Oh my God I'm riding the bus and there is a couple who is literally leaving tonight on a Greyhound. Coincidence...?

Thanks for the replies. I just don't know if my co-worker has great intentions. I do feel odd about someone I've only known for a month pushing me into something that will affect the rest of my life, mainly because I've only known my family my whole life. There's no risk for her. I'm 23. She doesn't have anything to lose. She never had a child and she's not like, okay with going with me to my former house even as support, like she said she would.

All I can offer by way of experience is only make big decisions from a positive place. Don't do anything G from a negative place if you can help it. Desperation isn't a good enough reason to turn your life upside down. Other than that good luck

If you are avoiding an abusive situation then you are doing the right thing.

I have no other choice. My town doesn't have a airport or an Amtrak. I've left before on a Greyhound on what I thought would be permanent before, I just need to know I'm doing the right thing. How I get there isn't the issue.

how can you move with nothing? what about your text books? diploma? degree?? clothes? lap top?? stacks of dvds?? weights????

If you can leave on it then that must be a big dog... (Badum Tshhh)

Have experience. Avoid the greyhound.

i'll try,PM I've been on them greyhounds,

I've done this. Moved across the country on a whim.
