be independent

I am on the way… and I know it’ll happen soon :)

All I want to be is independent.To be able to make my own decisions on where to go and what to see.

ive been in a relationship for over 2 years now and i feel that ive lost most of my independence. and my own mind. i love my boyfriend very much yes, but i need to be my own person. and he completely understands and supports that. [which im very grateful for]
how do i let myself go and walk out there all alone? any advice? i want to do things on my own and in my own way. i want to be positive and be proud of who i am and what i can accomplish.

I JUST WANT MY OWN,I’M NOT LOOKING FOR A MAN, MAYBE JUST SOME COOL FRIENDS TO CHIL WITH. I JUST GOT MY CAR NOW I NEED MY PLACE.

I do believe that I can effectively call myself independent. Suuurrree I still rely on my parents for insurance, but who at 22 and as a full time student doesn’t really? ok so there are people who don’t… but they would if they could!
done done done!

live a life of my own.

I’m a hopeless kid who just turned 15, and I need to become independent soon. My family has been messed up for a while, and I feel it will soon fall apart before I know it. My mom ditched me when I was about 10, and my dad has been supporting me till now. I love them, but my dad has a huge gamling problem and goes gambling for days. I know I can’t avoid the inevitable, and before I know it I’m going to be completely alone. I think I have about 3 years before I’m out on the streets so I need to become an adult by then to support myself.

being independent, to me..would mean startin with small things like being able to go somewhere on my own..learnin a language that i hate but i know i have to learn so that i can communicate on my own nd dnt need a translater…being able to walk alone confidently…learnin to travel by bus rather than takin the cab..cook my own food..basically stop depending too much on my family n friends..”self sufficient” is the word!

This goal is my challenge at the moment. But I don’t think I’ll be able to make it in the month and half or so left of the challenge. But that’s ok. I know why I’m not independent right now – not because I’m unable to, but because there are things in my life I value higher than career and money. And that’s ok. Eventually I’ll have a job and a place to live, it will happen.
Love; supporting and helping the people I love most..these are they things that really matters to me, above and beyond anything else. So if finding the right job, getting a flat, being independent has had to take a backseat the last year, so be it. He needs me and I love him. It’s worth it.

I am not independent. Not in any sense really. Well almost in a financial sense but that’s about it. Worse is that I used to be and now I am not. I am 25 soon and I am less independent than at 19. It’s hard to put that in writing, but I have figured that if I don’t admit it, confront it, I can (and probably will) stay in denial and so I will never change. (Just wrote: ‘it will never change’, but that, again, is taking away my personal responsibility).
I can blame this situation on its causes, on other people, situations, whatever, but frankly, it does not matter what or who the cause is, I am the one person who is responsible for me, my life, my independence. I am the one who can change the situation, and the one who has too. I am the one who relies on other people to plan my life and that is not how it works. I have a load of potential, could have a bright future, but I am just not using it. And that, is MY FAULT, not circumstances or causes or people around me.

I have to take charge
