Alone in the world with a little Matt Dawg!
I see people post on here every now and then asking about how they tell their family members they plan on traveling. Obviously there's no "step 1, step 2" guide on telling them; you just fucking tell them. But you need to understand that (as long as your 18 or older) you're not telling them to get permission, you're telling as a courtesy. And there's no guarantee they'll understand. Mine sure don't! Lol
I never expected them to understand, given their background. My mom is a nurse and my dad was a computer technician of some sort. My dad was making 6 figures a year and my mom is probably close to that.. They're very "upper middle class" is what I'm getting at.
I've told all my family that I plan on leaving this weekend. And while they all say "we love you and support whatever decisions you make" they sure aren't wasting any time trying to bribe me out of this plan (which I've been planning for years!).
I'm being told that if I stay they'll give me a free place to stay and pay for classes so I can "get my life back on track" and "find a decent job to support myself for years to come." They don't understand that I'm leaving to avoid all of that!
They don't understand that I don't want their money or their house or fancy vehicles. I don't want that ugly upper middle class life! (Not yet anyway..)
In the end, it's my life. It's your life. The only choices that matter are your own. Dont ever let someone talk you out of something you want, especially when you're young and have got an entire life ahead of you
