I don't know what I would do for food drinks and money. I guess I'll need to find a decent job and save up. I have no ideas of a grandious adventure, but would like to be alone for a while to think about things and to hopefully get more involved in my own life. The idea to move is scary to me, but at the same time seems like it might be good. I just wish I had more friends or was from a larger family or something.

MX2times how would you beable to live there ? Lets say you go there to live there but can't find a job, run out of money, etc?

I previously have lived there, I still maintain my relations both business and personal in Wellington. Finding work would not be a problem. Besides I wouldnt just up and jump without a plan;)

Every night. Every night. Not one goes by that I dont seriously consider just getting into the car and driving without stopping. No goal, no aim, just leave.

Well now that I'm a year removed from college and I still can't find a damn job, I think about it everyday. I'm not dating anyone (and have no plans to), I don't touch base with my friends these days, but I only have 5 grand saved up. If I had the money, I would move to Montana or somewhere out of the country in a heartbeat.

Well I got a different job. So maybe I will be able to save up a little money. After I have a nest egg built up I might consider moving up north. Perhaps I could get a job before I left here.

I don't know if I would like the city life. Also depends on which part of Richmond you are reffering to. To be honest I have heard that living in Richmond is expensive. I really don't have any skills that I could land a high paying job with. Plus I don't know anyone there that would put a word in for me. I want to livein a cooler climate. Somewhere like Maine or Mass would be cool I think.

That doesn't make much of a difference. I feel the same way you do, but have 4 sisters, a brother, both my parents are still around, have numerous nieces and nephews. I wish I could just move to some random part of the country. Call my mom and dad a couple times a month and just live.

Too much debt though...so can't.
