I am starting to feel my instincts direct me to leave this country. I've had a feeling for the past year inside of me that things are bad, getting worse. I am typically an idealist and a bit romantic, so I most certainly trust these unnatural feelings I have right now. Avi, how did you make it on your own outside of the US? I am an 18 year old college student with unsupportive parents. I have no idea what I would do. I'm starting to think that is what I should worry about secondly though.
