Can't shake this crazy thought
    #5950740 - 08/10/06 02:18 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

So, I've been planning for a while on moving to Portland, Oregon. It's not just that I like the city. I feel "called" to go there. I've told my parents about this, and they've been trying to help me find jobs up there, with no success so far. So, they recently said I need to just forget about it and look for jobs here, which I agreed to do. But I don't feel right about it. I just feel like I'm not supposed to be here.

Ok, so here's the crazy part: Last night, I had this nagging feeling that I need to just pack up my car, head up to Portland, and live out of my car if need be. I've tried to shake this feeling, but it won't go away. I feel like God is calling me. I've been pacing back and forth all day trying to talk myself out of it, but the idea keeps coming back, and I can't ignore it. I feel so restless and anxious. I can't get anything else done, because this obsessive thought keeps coming back to me.

do what you gotta do
sometimes drastic change is good


you can use your parents house as an address for job applications and go under the guise of job scouting, maybe stash some cash away in your car so that you'll at least have enough gas money to go back home if need be

adventure is good

I have considered such matters.

Keep looking for a job. There's got to be something.

Just go and find a job when you get there, even if its a dump job that you take just to hold you over till you find a better one.

It still bugs me, that I didnt go to California, when I
was thinking about it, instead I ended up in Texas.

Go now. :cool:

do it dude.

I hope that everyone has the blessing to be able to live up to such callings when they arise. I know it must be really hard to listen to the feeling and to go, but it's actually just as easy as getting some cash, getting in that car, and never looking back.

and if it doesn't work out, you go back home too.

remember the Bible says something like don't worry about food, how you'll eat, the birds don't and God still feeds them. I'm sure something can work out, just be sure to have enough gas money though!

Don't give up that idea, if you could wait for a little longer and see what happens maybe you'll find a job that would be great, if not just leave. If you feel like going there just do it. Somethings definitely waiting there for you and even if it's not what you expect it to be or even if it will be hard I think it will mean a lot for your life and give you some kool stuff to learn for life. Just go for it.
Good luck and keep us up telling us how it worked for you.

Just taking off with no plan is a dumb idea.

You should have some resources, a place lined up to live, and a line on some employment. Do you want to go up there and have to crawl back to your parent's house? You need a plan...even if it is a half-assed plan.

It's best to have a plan. However, I've made most of the most important decisions in my life without thinking them through. If I had taken the time to plan them out, who knows where I'd be. (don't want to know, I'm happy where I'm at now)

Sounds like you're at the breaking point. Like you need something to change for you, so you're at the point of drastic measures where you become your own change.

I don't know. It's risky to go. But maybe you should. WHATEVER YOU DO, don't come crawling back. That would be so disheartening. If you think you can go NOW and make it work for the long haul, then do it. But if you have even the slightest bit of suspicion that you might be unable to survive up there, then don't even bother leaving now.

So basically...do what your heart is telling you. Don't think too much about it. Thinking will just breed inaction and possibly frustration. Ask yourself the question NOW: Go or stay: check one.

Maybe you need to take a chance. Maybe you need to stay and plan it out.

Personally...if I was you...I would go.

im from south of portland. i too have hankerings for portland.mostly because imma big city yankee and dont have any place urban to fulfill me. when this happens to me i usually pack a bag for a day trip. the music scene is pretty cool.

so often i get a bus ticket (idk how far you are from there) and i catch a show. but not before arranging a place to stay

as for the latter i like to stay at a place called hosteling internation on se hawthorne very cheap on a nightly basis. nifty thing its in the thick of things as well.

i recommend doing this if you are not acclaimated to the are. if so , do some job searches on craigslist. theres alot of oppertunity up there!

Well, after talking to some people, I think there's another way for me to do this, so I'm not going to go through with that plan just yet.

Don't burn your bridges and that quote from pink floyd to that effect.Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us. To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side.

and the instrumental: "The dawn mist glowing, The water flowing, The endless river, Forever and ever":

Why be so radical? If he can't make it there, it shouldn't be a problem to go back to his family's house temporarily and go somewhere else aftwards. Unless he has issues with his parents I don't think its that big a deal.

So go to Oregon. Whats the difficult part of this decision? Do you have the loot to make it there and survive for a month? If so, go. If not, work hard, get the money, then go.

I've always rode this wave by the seat of my pants, silversoul. I think there's a lot to be said for "going with your gut" and even going out on a limb because of a "hunch". Human intuition, while often misportrayed, should not be ignored.

Have you put any thought into why you should go to Portland? I'm sure you have, but it never hurts to try some more! I find that, when my intuition is screaming at me to do something, if I just sit down and ponder it for a while I can almost always deduce a logical reason behind what my intuition is saying.

Anyway man, I'd say go for it! If it's what your heart is telling you, why not?

As long as you don't see it royally fucking your life up....what's your reason not to go?

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free.
But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

Why don't you do Missionary work or something? (My family has uber connections if you're interested.) Portland sucks; you should be in Cambodia building schools.
