I do like that bit of advice...I guess it's just hard to see what other options there are when your whole life you're pretty much conditioned to believe you have to conform and you have to succeed to societies standards. Seems like homelessness would be the main thing that happens if you cannot do so, so I am trying to mentally prepare myself for that.

I don't really watch the news or read the papers, Ifind recent information on the internet and such because I don't like to be totally in the dark but most of the news is just political rhetoric so no need to fill my brain with that.
