Looking for others to travel with like me

[childofthemoon]

Hi, this is my very fist time here.
My name is Skye. I'm in my 20s I don't know if anyone will see this but I'm looking for a companion or possibly a group to travel with.
I don't have a direct destination as of right now but I would like to go out west somewhere far away from the state of Virginia.

My situation is I got away from my abusive environment that had abused and isolated me for so long it was extremely difficult to ask or seek for help.
I don't have a single friend in this world. I have called the Domestic Abuse Hotline and so many shelters in the surrounding area and no one can or even wants to help me because my abuse wasn't with a intimate partner :/ no has ever listened about how I feel or takes me serious and so I have no idea what to do other than this for now.

When I was smaller I always wanted to runaway but I was afraid too but sometimes I wonder if I had not been made to feel afraid to follow my heart what my life could have possibly been like had I sought for help sooner.

Since there is no help for me and I'm fearing my life both from my abusers as well as my own mental I have to go out and find it hopefully. Maybe being outside will help me feel a little better but I don't want to be alone in this scary world. I feel comfortable with people in my age range 18-29 I don't discriminate anyone all I ask is that you have a good heart and a genuine soul.

I know it's cold out and it probably isn't the best time to leave but I have no choice. If there is anyone out there like me who wants to leave their own painful environments and you're in the dmv area plz lmk! I'm not religious nor am I against it for me there are many paths that lead up the mountain and right now my journey has been pretty heavy on me.

If you have any questions plz comment below or send a message, I'm still learning how things work here ʚଓ

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like you are going through a lot. If you're looking to travel during this time of the year, maybe it would be best to go to Florida. You can ride out the winter in a place that's warm and away from the abusive situation. There are trains that go from NYC all the way to Florida. It may be expensive up front, but it might be better than being stuck where you are.

I'm thinking of getting out of PA and heading to FL to ride out the winter storm that is approaching. Maybe you can consider the same.

Don’t forget you are a survivor. I have to remind myself of that multiple times a day.

And if you ever make it out west to Northern California, don’t hesitate to reach out. Message call email etc im not hard to get in contact with.

Be safe! Have fun! And say hi to the aliens if you see them!!

Hey 👋 quite a rough situation, but learning to survive (in all possible ways, mentally and physically) has been my most valued skill, I salute you to be doing what you feel is right for you

Remember to practice, ask people, anyone, homeless people know a lot, the street is their home, I learn most about a new city from fellow bums and road dogs

Visit squats, food banks, churches, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, any place people congregate, and dont stop asking questions and finding out new things. Anarchy/punk communities too, community is everything

Also my life on the road/street was way worse before I let go and accepted the fact I was "homeless", that I am no different than anyone else. Kind of accepted the bum life. Before you do, I think our ego clings and wants to pretend, so we do things subconscioussly that shelter us from seeing ourselves as being down bad. Basically we have that idea as the standard in our heads, firmly set, house, shower, TV, car, whatever else youre used to. Learning to live with less and shifting this baseline to where youre at, took a while for me. So if youve never been out and about, bumming about, learn from more experienced people, let them show you the ropes. I say this in the case you dont find anyone here online in your area.

We are all just people, all trying our best, all on our own paths up the mountain as you say, and I wish you the best of luck in your path. If you ever need anything, you know where to find us

Thank you for replying to me. I thought about Florida but hurricane seasons discouraged me because if I ever found a home there I didn't want to lose it to any storms struggle all over again. Sadly I don't have a lot of money just a little to get something to eat and right I'm really stressed out because I was staying at a motel for a little while that someone got for me and then I had to ask if I could stay and work here while I figure some stuff out and I haven't found anything for me at all & I feel so empty.

If I was able I'm sure I would even if it was just for a few months

Hey thx for replying to me. I really am and have been going through it and my mental hasn't been kind to me even while I have been trying to hide from my abusive environment and I about homeless now and I have no idea what to do or where to go to be safe. I'm not familiar with squats, or where to find anarchy punk communities either

I keep looking everywhere and I feel no matter what I try I can't reach what I'm seeking for. I don't know if I'll still be around or alive but if I am and can I will visit here just to see what's out there that I don't know about. Peace ❀

I feel like I have been surviving for so long that I feel so empty I guess it's because I'm stuck in survival mode too & became severely burnt out. I actually wanted to go to California but found out it was too expensive and in my mind I wasn't thinking about money or working or any of that just feeling the sun and beginning a new chapter for me where I can finally feel like a human being again.

If you know of anyone or places that take young people in like me and know of some adult adults out there who wouldn't mind assisting me please let me know I have tried everything that I could to keep hanging on and in all honesty I don't know how much longer I can
