I disappeared 5 years ago from the U.S. to go live in Europe. Honestly it was the most critical decision I ever made and also the best decision I ever made. Firstly, being away from family and friends means that you really have to sort your own shit out. Nobody is gonna do it for you, you don't have mom and dad to fall back on. It was an incredibly maturing experience for me. When I talk with my friends who are still living at home, I find it difficult to relate to their problems and find their reactions to be quite alien to me now. Secondly, experiencing life in different cultures opens up your mind in incredible ways. Thirdly, when I left the U.S., I knew one language. English. Now I know French and am learning German (I lived in France for 4 years and have just moved to Germany). I can honestly say that I am a completely different person today from when I arrived here. And I love it. If you're thinking about getting lost in the world, go ahead and do it. And enjoy.

Everything went to crap where I was living.. I eventually got evicted and moved in with my boyfriend. He was a man that seriously made me feel crazy. Made me feel like I wasn't pretty enough or there was just things plain flat our wrong with ME. I was able to get away and move to a different freaking continent haha. It's been amazing. I've been back and forth between europe and the states, but I wouldn't regret anything. I had some rough goings for a while, but things picked up. Things can still get kidn of hard for me here, but all I know is that I'm loving myself.

I am glad you got away. I volunteer at a women's shelter and heard some terrible things...I am glad it worked out for you.

"I've started a new life twice. Once moving 2,000 miles in the U.S. and once moving to Asia. I don't know if I'd recommend it but it worked for me. I don't see why you'd have to fake a death or being missing. You can just leave a simple note. "Fuck you guys, I'm out of here". It's really not complicated. "

ITT People who start a new life were often surrounded by shitty people. This is a surprisingly uplifting thread to read. Best of luck to you all.

Similar to other comments, I didn't fake my death or anything I moved across the country. Basically halfway through college I had been living with my HS sweetheart for 3 years in FL, and my all my family moved out of the state during the time period. I dropped out of school after the AA, got a job and worked to make it work paying for our place and such while she finished school. That shit didn't work. We broke up and I was lucky to have the choice of leaving. So I quit my job (they understood), packed some shit in a bag and left. Moved to the great NW. Fast forward three years, I have the degree I wanted, weed is legal, and I have the job I want. Tl,dr: Make the changes you want and don't be a pussy.... Also marijuana.

I moved half way across the world to get away from my bad reputation. It is refreshing and fantastic to have a clean slate, but it is really really challenging. my parents, siblings and best friends are 6,000+ miles away and i had to forge a new life from scratch with no help I was 17 when I did this BTW. One day I hope to move back there to start over again, but as of now it's great.

Well i didn't fake my death either, but back when i was in California, i got addicted to heroin. I was so deep into my addiction that i thought my life was over. Only way out was to move to Florida to live with my parents and it was the best decision i have ever made in my life. I have been sober now for 6+ months and i know if i hadn't made that move, i would either be dead, or on the streets homeless.

Know I'm jumping in a bit late, but this has been pretty much my way of living for the past 10 years. Every few years I pack up, move countries and start new. Burner phones, changing emails, and no social network accounts. I don't really have a reason for it, I just enjoy being a vagabound and seeing places. I grew up moving country to country as a child, and when I turned 16-17 it just seemed a natural way of living. I've hit around 150 countries so far, and lived in over 20. I'm still young, and I work in all these places. (surf instructor, running hostels, bartender, teacher, etc.) ok! edit: holy hell, this blew up a bit. I don't even have internet at where I'm staying right now so I tend to leech it from where I work. I honestly didn't think anybody would even see this. I'll scroll through a bit and answer some questions if I can. Cheers!

I moved from oregon to ohio about four years ago without really telling anyone. A lot of people probably assumed I'd disappeared, but really just left suddenly. I did it because I was sick of the way my life was going and didn't really see any light ahead. After taking off and traveling across the country I learned a few things, met a couple awesome people, made some amazing memories. But all in all things were pretty much the same. I realized that I could go wherever I want, but it was always gonna be me that arrived. I think now that the only really to change your life is to change yourself. I know that sounds cliche, but that's what I learned. Like they say, get on a plane in california an asshole, get off a plane in new york an asshole.
