I understand where you're coming from, but I've previously been almost homeless in a different major city years ago. I HAD TO move away, get myself situated, make money, regroup, and decide if I wanted to go back. If you're starving in Massachusetts but you're being offered food in Maine, you go where the food is until your strength is back. That's not failure or something to mock or weakness. If you aren't willing to stay in a shelter, halfway house, or use social services, you're putting yourself in real danger of freezing to death when you don't have to.
