Should I run away and start anew?!
Question:
Should I run away and start anew?
Im 21, When i first graduated school I was sent off overseas back to my miserable homeland for college, for financial reasons and other "cultural" reasons. I can't get a job that pays more than 0.80/hr, no car, no social life, and i really dissagree with the society over here. My studies aren't going well I've already changed my major once. All my constructive hobbies are down the drain, I used to work out at the gym, and now i smoke. I had a passion for guitars, and now im slowly losing that too. I haven't dated since I came here, and I can't see how anybody can build a future here. However, I'm presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity, I'm traveling back to the US for the summer. I'm thinking about grabbing all my legal documents (passport, social...) and run away from my family and hideous life. I have a friend in florida that said i could bunk at his place for as long as I need. I'm presented with a chance to start fresh. But I'm scared and I need advice.

Answers:
Usually when we feel like running away the real thing is we want to run away from ourselves and we always end up with the same feeling of running away no matter where we are. If you have the opportunity to go to your friend and as you say start fresh you can go ahead. But remember that once you are with your friend what is gonna happen if he ask you to leave his place? Have you think about that? Of course you can get a job and get your own place after awhile. Do you know your friend really well for you to take this decision? By the way you are not mentioning where you are.
