I'm set on getting on the road with a truck and living out of it. I'm planning on pan handling for money and gas and dumpster diving for food. I will go where I please, pick up hitch hikers along the way and just be own my own with my pup. Headed south for now. Once the truck breaks down, I'll hitch hike. Once the urge to settle happens, I'll start squatting.
Is this not reasonable in any sort of way? To have no plan, nothing of any sorts? I told my family about this and they are showing no support whatsoever. I'm not asking for support from them, just for them to understand. That I can no longer function in their society. That I will end up committing suicide if I go to school for four years, get a full-time job and work unhappily until my death. I just cannot do that. I've suffered from depression for five years and now that I'm eighteen, I'm taking matters into my own hands. Being on their medication, in their society's ways has not worked for me at all.
So please, someone tell me that I'm being somewhat reasonable, that what I'm doing isn't entirely insane. Tell me your stories, your advice, anything.
