I’m 18 and ready to leave ASAP

[Guest]

So, I’m 18 Years old kinda the okay age to start thinking about leaving your parents house if you didn’t go to college right. Well not in my case, I was raised Muslim in an African home , very traditional very strict , growing up I never really agreed with my family I was always the odd ball, now I’m ready to move out all the disagreements the arguing , lack of freedom, getting told what to do really gets to me. In fact I plan on leaving in a month, how do I go about leaving? Do I just up and leave? Do I write a letter about how I feel then leave? I need answers
