I love my parents to death, but I’m ready to live on my own. Staying with them and abiding by their rules has not been that difficult, but I can’t live with them forever. Everyone’s lives are going in different directions and it’s time for me to the start the chapter of my life on my own. I want them to be proud of me and know that they have raised me well and to feel confident that I can make it in this world. By the end of this year, I would like to move out, live on my own, and take care of myself independently.
