HELP!!!
I hope that someone who is reading this can help me. I really want to move, I want to start something new! I want to move to Chicago. When I am not near my parents I seem to do extremely well. Plus I think that I would do well as a gay man in a real city. Chicago is a better fit for me than Denver. I have always wanted to return home to Chicago and I suppose that this could be the time to do it. I don't have any money and I am afraid that I am going to lose credit that I may have. Then there is the entire worry of moving the little I have to move all the way to Chicago. I have an application to the University of Illinois at Chicago and I am thinking that I can use their dorms, which are fully furnished, and move in there for now. Then I would need to get a job and finance a home either downtown or near the El train. I don't want to have to use my car or I would like to even sell it. I would love to live downtown Chicago, I just don't know if I have the energy, money and motivation to move so far from Colorado. I am so tired. I just wanted get this journal entry out! Well goodnight moon!

I\'ve moved around quite a bit, taking risks, sometimes regretting it, but always moving forward. I think the question you have to really ask is whether you have an initial support network--friends or family--to help out when you get there. It could be as little as a sofa to crash on or a hot meal, but it means everything as you get yourself situated.
I myself want to move in the future but the problem is always because of the cost and the money to live on that you have to save and a place to find and live then finding a job its just so complicated. But maybe because you have an application to the University of Illinois at Chicago and your thinking that you can use their dorms that sounds like a good idea and a good place to start. But hopefully you can figure it out but when you are absolutely ready. Sorry I couldn\'t really help but good luck.
