have my own place

Have my own place is a dream I have in the last 10 years, I guess. But it is impossible yet, because I have many other things to do before get a good job that pays me enough to live alone or with my boyfriend. I still save some money to help me with it in the future, but sometimes I need to get part of it to use in a present situation. I feel I don’t have to stop spend with my present life for a future I don’t know when will happen and how it will be.
So, I put this goal in the “give up list” until I graduate on college and can do real steps about this goal!

Wow! I can’t believe it.

I want this so badly I convinced myself that moving to Africa where I would have a lot more of my own space would be preferable to living at home.

But it’s even worse here. Living with my Dad he attempts to control every aspect of my life. You’d think I was exaggerating but he even takes it upon himself to tell me what I can and cannot eat, when to do my hair, what time I get up, the list is endless.

It cannot come soon enough because I really need to escape. And that’s why it is so important for me to be financially independent, which isn’t going too well at the moment. It’s either that, or go to do a masters somewhere further away – maybe Alaska(!)

Since summer 2007 I have replied to over 160 ads for a room. And still no luck. How depressing can it be?

I finally found somewhere after looking for about 6 months.

My move date is in October – so not long to go. Yay!

...since I really had my own place. With my own things. And with my own rules. Two years now I’m looking for a new place and still no luck.

I just don’t know what to do anymore. This is too depressing a state to be in.

I will have my own place, no flatmates I don’t know, no house share, just me. The work is in process :)

Now that I’ve lived by myself, I don’t think I could ever share again! :)

Will this be my week?

(update: again no luck)

I live with my brother right now, which is fine, but I really still want a place of my own. Like one I can make breakfast naked if I want to. But the this is my Brother just got laid off of his job and needs me to pay that half of the rent, so if I move out he is really SOL. So I guess I will just delay the moment of moving out for now. and keep wishing.

I do wish that he would let me put a lot more stuff in the house. All I have is my room and a kitchen cupboard. I pay half like him and I have to look at all of his decorations and all of his stuff. I feel like I have to completely live around him. That’s just not right. I want to have lots of friends come over and feel comfortable. But it’s not like that. I cannot wait. I just wish he would decide to move out to a smaller apartment or I could somehow get out of this and be in a little place of my own.
