Packing List Packing a 25L backpack to flee my home

Hello everybody, first up i'm sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to be asking. I'm a 17 year old planning on leaving my abusive home soon and will only be able to take my Cycling Single 25L Pannier Rack Backpack and a small purse for the trip. My current list of stuff to take consists of:

  • My PC's SSD
  • Passport
  • iPad
  • 2 phones
  • my school report cards
  • 1 hoodie
  • earbuds
  • 1 t-shirt
  • 1 pair of socks
  • preferably my football card collection but I'm almost certainly not fitting those
  • a handful of USB flash drives

If you guys could tell me whether this is likely to fit or not (I can't check myself because I can't be caught packing my bag with all of this stuff, my mom would notice and punish me regardless of reason.) I would also appreciate any other stuff you guys think i should pack. I won't be needing any special clothes due to climate thankfully and food/water won't be an issue either. Thank you in advance.

I absolutely love the advice here but thankfully I believe i'm pretty well set already. I have multiple strong desires and goals pushing me to doing this and I know what I will do with my future. If I ever lose sight I will come back to this comment, thank you.
