Thinking of selling house and traveling west

I've wanted my flying license since i was like 8.. i lost an eye at 21 and that dream went down the tubes as well..

Sounds like you want to do what the early settlers did by moving out west. I say go for it if you don't do it it you'll always think about how things could've been different if you had gone.If it's only you going sell your house pack your shit and head westward as Kid Rock said....I wanna be a cowboy baby !

I have the same thoughts..I'm actually building a truck to handle a slide in camper and tow a 20+'trailer i can fit all my crap in and I want to go drive around the country to find a place to settle down..I keep trying to tell myself the grass isn't always greener..but I have trouble believing it could be any worse.

April, you just picked up and left or was it somewhat planned? If it wasn't for a couple family members that i know aren't going to be around that much longer I'd pick up and disappear for a bit..

Not really planned...I wanted a change...chance to start over...after many months of sadness I took someone up on an offer...ended up in California for a bit..flew back..not knowing where to call home...my aunt had seen my struggles via Facebook and suggested I take a chance...move somewhere new and start over..i shocked her when I arrived at her front door 4 days later lol...but she offered her couch...man I never thought my life would turn out so good!!

People who truly loved me helped me find my place
Those are true friends, they didn't all agree with my choices but they always supported me.

Find the root source of your depression. You cant run from it but you can run from the things that cause it. Go!
This vid is my inspiration to lead a more simple life

Thank you all for the responses and for sharing. I didn't expect to wake up to so many comments.
I know most of where my depression roots from. Grew up with my dad who was not once kind or supportive and kicked me out at 15. Been Payin rent ever since untill this accident and now I own a home. It was a lot of changing to happen in just a year and hard to adjust. My mother is about the same and hasn't been part of my life ever. Surley I have some abandonment issues but clinically depressed might be a better description for me. There's just some things off with how my brain works anymore since the head injury. I've tried counceling etc but without family support it seems to do mothing. I was the one who reached put and tried to get help each time I have. I feel like if I just go chase my dreams or at least travel.. I will learn a lot more about life and what I want from it.

My home is set up to grow a good amount however being here depressed and in pain I've had a hard time finding the motivation to grow. I did compete one crop of some cheese which was amazing. And my first grow. My dreams were always to grow legally in a legal state and be around people that are like minded. Here in the Bible Belt I feel like I'm the only person of my type around here. Hard to explain.

Lol. You know what it's like. I'm just south of there not too far. I mean I really stick out like a sore thumb. I'm a very nice person probably one of the nicest you'd meet but people around here just don't gice outsiders a chance it seems. I've just had this burning desire to travel. I may come back broke but I've gotta do it!

That's cheating here we are thinking you lived in a car maybe found a boyfriend with a place and come to find out you had family shits not easy to just pick up and move with no place to stay. I blew $3,000 in FL just to take the bus home but FL kind of sucks anyway all the douche bags move their. lol

I'm over florida don't even want to visit now lol. I feel like there's just some town waiting for me wherever that may be. And if not would be great to see the country. But yes I agree just to get my truck ready with a camper shell and set up to basically live out of it with all things I'd need could easily cost me 5k. And gas to go across the states with some expected excess driving through small towns ext could cost another few thousand. Food, camp sites for showers, ext can cost even more. But I still have this want to do it. even if I come home to being close to broke I feel Id just have to start working my ass off and figure it out. But I'd have that little extra drive from my life journey to keep me Goin at that point. Who knows maybe would meet my future wife while I'm travel win and not come backs ther than to sell my house. Just never know what lies out there. That's why I'll probaby be doing this !

I see threads like this pop up all the time lately..we need an RIU commune/community. I see whole towns go up for auction every now and then, one just sold for something like $1, plus any outstanding liens/taxes..which I never saw how much that was.

I live in a non legal state near the east coast where I own a home and am set up pretty nice to live. I was injured badly 2 years ago in an accident and have been unhappy ever since. Moved to this state to be around family and they are now less supportive than ever. Their the only things holding me down and the only reason I moved here from Florida after my accident and settlement. It's incredibly lonely and depressing in this town and lately I've been having dreams of getting a camper shell for my truck and hitting the road with my dog. I would of course have to either sell my house and pack up my belongings into storage or liquidate my things to fit into the truck. No feel like if I keep my house and take off on this trip I will be broke by the time im home.l and keeping the house will be difficult. It's hard for me to do what I used to and have not worked since I was hurt. Awaiting dissability but I'm 26 and I just don't see it happening. So in order for me to be able to deal with my pain and new problems Ill have to be doing what I dream of and living life. If I sit here I feel like I'll slowly fall beneath the surface.

Just looking for some nice rollitup members to chat with and get some outside view or somekne that's had this point in their life and to share their expiericnes along with what you learned. And if you had the chance would you do it all over again. Any convo welcome thanks!

I've been told if I relocate to keep my anti-religion views to myself, just nod in agreement. I' live in a pretty, well extremely..lol, liberal area and i still get shit for talking against organized religion. I could get down with some redneck competitions though..I like off roading, shooting, and f'ing my cousin..oh wait..not the last one..

I keep looking at the panhandle, but..florida..IDK.

Yeah thats a nice area

Virginia is beautiful I do however keep my views to myself im mostly conservative but I have alot of left wing views


the best is being in the woods


not alot of people near me i live off a road but i only have on neighbor and hes like 80


and if you like small town in the country but still near a big city then mayberry or mount airy is the place for you


thats where i spent alot of my early childhood

free bluegrass shows every Saturday (if that your thing)
good people
lots of shit to do
police are laid back not as much as in my area but still a considerable amount compared to Florida (swim has a parental figure that did coke with most of the cops here) mostly they just dump your stash and break your bowls and shit


oh and ill let you in on a little secret about the police too

*in whisper tone* theres a place near mount airy called flat rock and if you go down into Laurel Hill Virginia theres absolutely no cops,helicopters or planes to be seen its a place where like 3 different counties meet and there's too many back roads so cops dont go out there at all

i beat the shit outta someone and they called the police one day

took 45 minutes for a ambulance and patrol cars to come

so its a growers paradise (only if i still lived there)



BUT Florida is a awesome place especially living right near the beach i really needed medicinal to be passed so i could stay and grow

but i reckon i missed this inbreed ass state too damn much and it was fate


anyways sorry for the long post hahaha i tend to get carried away

Thanks for the responses you all. This is all helping me to think about what to do. I agree people all seem to be going through a lot right now. people keep bein there for other people. It's a crazy time we live in gotta stick together. I really haven't checked out too much of northern Florida. But I'm sure there are areas I would like. I just couldn't take the business down where I was anymore. I really like the town I live in but it's also a sad place. Something like 1/3 of the people live in shambles with next to nothing to survive on. I just don't want to get stuck here where opportunities are slim and people get stuck

hey Beez,,,,,,hope you got the sympathy you needed here,,,feel for you,,,,,but this is a pot growing website,,,and we really don't need to hear how you lost it all,,,,if ya gotta good grow going on,,,,show us some pics

I think you should put a pu camper on your truck get a storage joint for all your stuff and take a few months to go for a serious road trip.pass through some legal states and check out lenient states and live where it feels right!

I dream of doing this someday....
