I love how everyone just dismisses this idea because it's hard. Have they never planned a big lofe change before? And then they say that you're the one who's out of touch!

If you're making barely enough to scrape by, but you've got a clear plan and destination, you can make it happen. It matters how much you want it.

What does it even take to uproot your life? You need a place to stay when you get there, and a way to pay for it. Those bits aren't even required. You need food to eat and a way to travel. SNAP is amazing for this.

blah blah i dont care to continue with this comment, just wanted to point out that everyone complaining abouthow hard it is probably has never done it and doesn't realize how possible it is

Yeah I don’t get it. I’m trying to convince people that it’s better to be free than in prison and they’re not buying it?! What?

I think people create prisons for themselves in their own minds. I’m saying choose the situation you’re in. You’ll be much happier for it! Some people don’t want to be happy though. And they’ll resent you for even suggesting it!

I think so! if it's someone else's fault then it's not my fault, and that's perhaps a more important freedom for some
