Err, this is a kind of serious thread so if you have something un-nice to say, please don't say it.

I needed to get this out somewhere..

I leave home tomorrow. And before you think it, there is no boy involved. Or drugs. I am also not going to be on the next Apprentice. I am simply leaving home.

The family are not going to be wishing me luck at the door with hugs and tears because they're all going to be out. I am being picked up in a car, taking my few belongings, pinning the letter I've written to the family to the notice board, alongside my (ex) key and then I'll leave.

There will be no tears. Or hugs.

Why?

[Caramel_Candy]

maybe you should talk to your family about this before you regret this in the future? does your family even know that you want to leave home? how are you going to support yourself? gonna live with a friend? can only bum with a friend for so long... think about what you are doing..

Be careful, and check in here often.

It's not actually as spontaneous as it sounds. I have been thinking for years and preparing for months. Also, I decided last week, that since my mind was made up, no more thinking and lots of do-ing and praying.

This is your choice to make, and it seems like you've given it and its consequences enough thought. Good luck and take care

That I have. Thanks!

Good luck, be really careful ok and if you ever need to talk, you know where we all are :)

[caffienetime]

Honestly, even if you have looked at the consequences and have a fair idea of why things will turn out, I REALLY think you should rather talk to your parents and family about how you are feeling. I have seen quite a few parents who's kids ran away and I have seen the pain and anguish they go through. I dont think you should make your parents suffer that. Its only with your parents duas that you are safe and sound...so dont hurt them.

if you still want to do it, it really is your choice. that was just my 2 cents.

[Timbit]

sounds like you're doing what you need to do.

i wish the circumstances were better (you could see them before you leave, have them send you off amicably) but sometimes you just have to take what is given.
inshaAllah khair...

I appreciate what you're saying. But I have faith that God will keep me safe and sound.

I hope the people you are staying with are trustworthy. Its a shame when family stuff happens but do what you feel is right.

[Shivermetimbers]

your info states your age as being 21. not sure if that's accurate or not but based on that, i'm curious; have you finished school? do you have a stable job, which by the will of Allah can sustain you for some time to come? i understand you may have perfectly valid reasons for wanting to leave home but maybe wait until you've completed school (if you haven't already)/are more financially stable. if you plan on staying with family/friends, it may be okay for a while, but you can only do that for so long before you yourself or they start seeing you as a burden/inconvenience of sorts. nevertheless, good luck with whatever you do! i pray Allah places khayr in all the actions you take.

[TrentReznor858]

I dont mean to sound like a jerk but its kind of silly to post a "serious" thread on islamica. Also, being so cryptic about the whole thing leaves you wide open to mockery by the trolls on here. I wish you the best, good luck, and may allah protect you

why's everybody acting like she's going on a perilous journey? she's just moving out of her parents' home.
and she gave no indication that she's about to go do something unsafe.

Leaving the nest is a big step and the way she worded it seemed worrying.

Relax.

[jigglypottamus]

she's probably just leaving home to go live on campus at her university
