Yes. It's called "leaving home." This has been successfully accomplished by tens of millions of people, worldwide.

It was much easier to do in previous generations. Look up statistics for the age and amount of people who still live at home today compared to like 1950. Or 1970. People didn't suddenly stop wanting to get the fuck out of their parents houses, the system has been rigged against us for years now. Remember, one guy used to be able to work a shit job and still have a wife who didn't work, and a family, plus a house, car, vacation time, you name it. What the fuck do the masses have now.

Figure out where in the west you want to go. Start applying for jobs there.
In the meantime, save every penny you can. If you look at things like rental prices, the west is usually a more expensive place to live than the east, especially the southeast. You'll want some savings.
If you're just starting out, avoid the coast. Cities like Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle are ridiculously overpriced. Unless you land a management-level gig right out of the gate you're going to live a lot poorer in those place than you might in a more inland location.

It was fun no regerts but if your trying to change your life, that starts with changing yourself.

Bruh, I understand you guys were desperate for a place to stay, but how did you not realize he was merely offering you a place so he could get your girl high and fuck her? That's what drug dealers do, they aren't known for being good samaritans. Were you really young and naive?
