I want to disappear someday (without dying)

0

I’ve been thinking about this for years, but I’m not really sure how to do it. Someday, maybe after I finish college (to make my parents happy), I think I want to just break away from my family and my old life and just be a vagrant or something, just wandering around and meeting new people. I don’t want to rely on society or the government in order to live. I want to be free, and I think the only way I can do that is to erase all my tracks and live an unsheltered life, at least for a while. I don’t know if I sound stupid saying this, but for some reason, I just crave that adventure, and I feel like I’d experience a great self-discovery during that time. I don’t know…

I can relate to that feeling. I've been having that feeling for about ten years now. When I was 16, I tried to act upon it by packing my backpack and running away, for my own adventure. I also thought I'd discover myself and break away from everything. You might feel like doing that, but I don't advise it. If anything, I discourage it. What I'd suggest is that you travel. You can travel somewhere and leave everything behind for a bit. Travel to some place, have your adventure that way and then go back with a fresh look upon things. I know how it feels to want to be free, but breaking away from everything isn't as great as you may think right now it is. You'll feel lonely and even though things might not have always been so great with your family, you'll miss them. If you want to talk more about this, you can feel free to message me.

I can't afford to travel anywhere that costs a lot of money. Also, I hate my family. I highly doubt I'd miss them. I'm already used to being alone.

I think most of us relate to this.. I feel like disappearing everyday. And I keep thinking that once I graduate and start working I'll just move away. You know just leave everything and go? I think it's therapeutic after being through so much crap. Stay positive x
