Need help writing a letter...

[flickenu]

hey people, i've decided i'm gonna move out of my house and leave. just to try things on my own for a while i guess. at least a few months. the thing is, i don't really want to tell anyone about it. i can't figure out why i'm doing it, i think i'm in depression or something. I've already started packing, I just need a few good ideas for what to write to my parents. I'm gonna leave them a note telling them what i'm doing i just don't know what to say in it. any ideas?

they should understand. Just leave. That is what I did. I just moved at 3am from Atlanta to Colorado... I called the next day from Ar. and talked to my Dad. He just told me to be careful and stay in touch, that I would have a place there if I ever needed it. I was your age as well.

dballer-

how hard was it financially? I only have 1k to move. i'll need 170 for gas and then the apartment im looking at is 550 a month. It shouldn't be too hard to find a 40 hour job will it?

Ive thought about doign the same thing, I don't think I will. But I would really like afresh start, I should of went away to college

Depends on where you are going... I will be honest... I do not know what you know how to do as far as jobs go.. but I would be lying to you if I told you it will be easy. I will be honest... you will probably find it is easier to live at home. You will not have much money to do fun stuff. You will work more than play. You will NOT have money for roids.

This depends on your skills of course.. I mean if you are some kind of 18 year old doctor.. it will be diffrent.. but when I was 18 all I could do was work on race cars and cook food. Nobody in their right mind would let an 18 year old kid work on their drag race car... so I worked at Subway in Avon Colorado for $6.00 an hour... it sucked.. but I was on my own.

You WILL also need to find a roomate. Trust me on this one.

I say go for it. If you wait.. you may regret... I mean you can always go home.. it is not like they (your parents) are kicking you out.

what about the scholarship?
thats kindof normal at that age. i got it, my brother got it.


tell them that you need to figure yourself out, and that you will still be their son. and that you will still stay in contact. and that in the long run it is better this way.

I'm sick of college right now. I don't care about the full ride or anything, I just want to figure everything out. I can't concentrate on school right now. It's not that I want to move away permanently, it's just that I want to try things on my own for a while and get out of this region for a while. I'm sick of everyone around me and need a new environment. I think I'm gonna sleep on it tonight, and then make a decision tomorrow night on what to do.

Well, if their is one thing Ive learned in my life, its to go with whatever your gut feeling is. If something feels right, just go for it, if something feels wrong, get out of the situation pronto. If I would of listened to my gut exactly 1 year ago, I might of saved myself from 6 months of serious stress last year

Forget the letter, just talk to your parents. Listen to what they have to say. It's amazing, I always thought my parents were idiots, but the older I get the smarter I realise they are.

I honestly don't know what my gut feeling is. Here's my story- I moved away to college 1,500 miles away. I drove too so the whole time there I thought about what I want out of leaving. I realized I don't have a clue what I want. I left the girl I lost my virginity to at home because she's still a senior in high school. This didn't help once I got down there either. Considering that I dislike about 75% of people and this school had 45,000+ students I was doomed from the 1st day I got there. I decided to come back on that 'gut feeling' that things wouldn't work out wiht that girl if I stayed there. So I came back after 12 days and have been home for a month going to a small private school on an academic/athletic scholarship. Well about 10 days ago I found out that girl cheated on me a couple of weeks ago and the stress is really getting to me. now my gut feeling is to move away and try things on my own but it seems like I shouldn't let her influence me so much. I came back for her, and now I want to leave because of her. There's other things that are leading to this too but this is one of the main reasons. I guess I got too attached to her.

Maybe I'll just catch a flight somewhere and stay there for a few weeks. That's not too bad of an idea. Then if I decide I really want to stay there I can fly back and then move. That way if I don't like it I won't be stuck there.



nordstrom-
do you seriously like linkin park? just curious. also, I read your post about the mental sides of steroids and I know what you mean. Right now I'm on an anavar cycle, which isn't messing with my head but I do think it's contributing to my stress. I really hope I'm over all of this before I start clomid. Otherwise I'm gonna be way too emotional.

Your going through alot right now, I'd quit the cycle until you get your head back into the game. I did a cycle and had alot of drama happen all at once like you are, cutting the cycle short helped me out big time.

Bro, I was just about to rag on you big time for making such huge commitments (changing schools!) for some chick you lost your virginity to. I guess you learned the hard way, but there you have rule #1.

If I were you I would stick it out in school. Finish the semester and transfer to another school. Whatever you do, don't drop out.

Also, positive thinking bro. If you think you won't like 75% of the people somewhere, chances are you won't. Eventually, the more secure you become with yourself, the more you'll be able to accept people for what they are, and have fun with that.

Also, if you have a full ride it probably means you don't have to work right? Dude, that's paradise. Go to class, relax, read some books, party a little. Life can't get much sweeter.

I'm working right now at a job which to me is boring as hell, but I get paid a ton. The problem with me is that I was extremely motivated after college and worked for one of the top firms in my field (finance). Now after 4 years of working I guess I am spoiled in that sence because I've already proved my professional side.

Now I want to bum out and act or make music or whatever... funny.

naturally. crawling, in the end, about to break, mr. hahn, runaway, a place for my head, by myself. all good songs. 7 of the 12 on the hybrid album are good songs. most albums only have 2 or 3 good songs.

i considered dianabol, because it gives a feeling of well being. dianabol & insulin would be nice good cycle if your mind is fucked.

Your too young to let a girl dictate your life bro, then again Im only a year older so who am I to say. Leaving might be best if you really need to clear your head, just don't get in over your head in the process (financially). I go to a 40k+ school also, and I know what you mean about it
