I never realized how young you are, J! Dude, you've got so much ahead of you, a million lessons are waiting for you, but you gotta bail on your home town for a while to appreciate what it is and what it isn't.
Save some cash and go travelling before you commit to an industry or field of study. You'll learn more about yourself and the world in 3 months of travel than you will by simply thinking moving away will be the change you're looking for.
Looking back, at 19, I didn't even know who I was yet. I was simply a product of my upbringing and carried all the baggage of what I was expected to be without understanding what I really wanted, only what I'd been trained to want by my friends, family and society.
I hadn't separated status from happiness yet. I meet a lot of people who were never able to make the distinction because they followed the linear path, the trap, and they're miserable.
They've never once walked a mile in another persons shoes, never exposed themselves to the cruel realities of poverty and the living conditions a lot of the world lives in. They can't appreciate what they have because they always want more, when really what they need are experiences. Experiences that make them feel vulnerable, unsure, alone, afraid.. and now they're too fragile to actual experience real life ; they just float around in a bubble wrapped version of it, pretending they don't live in their own shadow.
