Moved from Pennsylvania to California when I was 18. I had 2 grand, a car and my clothes. I found a job pretty much right away at a inbound call center for some property and auction crap. From there I used the money I had to get an apartment and the rest is history. I wasn't as scared as much as I was excited to get out on my own. It was the first time in my life that I truly felt free. It was honestly the most liberating feeling ever. It wasn't easy the first few years but, I worked hard, put myself through school and persevered. Now I've got a family, a great paying engineering job, a house that I bought when I was 28, 2 cars and an all around great life. It's all about taking risks, life wouldn't be interesting with out them.
No, but that may be the case very soon.

I have never lived closer than a day's drive from my home. The closest my career has kept me to home is when I worked in Duluth for 9 months, 2 hours north of Minneapolis. Nova Scotia was the furthest at 3.5 days. I could never do it in 3.
i moved to the other side of texas (4 hours) away from where i grew up, for college. wasnt scary, but i had no friends, nobody to skate with, knew of no cool places to chill. it fucking sucked. now im back and have more friends than when i left. i still dont think i could stay here forever though.
im planning to move to portland, oregon by summer the latest. will have a job and some money saved up.
Why would you ever move? GQ has recently declared Brooklyn the greatest city on the planet.

move to portland now, it makes me want to puke knowing your only an hour and half away from me
kind of tired of new york
maybe i should just move closer to you so you can puke
move to boston in 09. i didn't find a place, my ex-girlfriend found a place. although when I decided to move out because I couldn't take her shit I found a place within a week. it was fun, great city for blading, spots everywhere, and as long as you have a bicycle, you don't have to deal with traffic/mass transit. I missed a good amount of nightlife being that i was hold up in my room doing architecture homework and not 21 yet.
moved 3000km by my self with 1500 and a couch to stay on. found a in 3-4 weeks then got my own place half a month after

i was born and raised in missouri...at 15 (freshman year) i moved to southern california. it was a little bit of a culture shock, but also relieving that i was no longer the only brown kid in my grade.
i thought you were italian...
The money, job, finding an apartment, blah blah blah is the easy part of moving away from the place you grew up. Developing new relationships, learning much more about yourself despite how well you think you know yourself, a marked change in perception of others and your own logic are a few of the more important concepts. Really though, moving away from your childhood community can be summed up with one phrase:
You won't understand how fundamentally important it is to move away until you do it.
There is no describing it. You just have to do it and find out for yourself. The results are well worth the effort.
korean/italian. as far as kids in missouri were concerned...i was definitely more ethnic than they were.
close enough
