I have another friend who wants to be roommates..and he seems like he would be an amazing roommate. What makes the situation even sweeter is that he has to be in a new place by January! That works perfectly with the time-frame I set for myself! I love life!!!

I'm coming to realize that... 4 weeks ago

... I’m a little ambivalent about leaving home. On the one hand, it feels so limiting, but on the other hand I’m scared of all the things that leaving entails: I’d have to get a car, car insurance, buy all my own food, fix all my own food, I’d have to remember everything on my own. I’m not worried about cleaning up after myself (laundry/dishes/etc), but I’ve ruined two different pans by leaving them on the burners for hours after forgetting about them.

I am extremely forgetful, and being on my own leaves me vulnerable to everything from forgetting appointments to accidentally starting a fire.



moving on 1 month ago

So, there’s a couple of things that have been holding me back from moving out:

1. Guilt that I’ll be leaving two elderly people to take care of themselves.
2. Not having a full-time job because I’m still in grad school.

So, I have to get over my guilt and get a full-time job…then I can move out and get a dog. :-)

Okay, I’m officially trying to save up for this (for rent, that is). I don’t have a real steady income, so it may take some time.

yeah, my parents, I think, are ok with me being here. Its all me wanting to get out. I am really independent and its hard to rely on other people so much when I want to stand on my own two feet.

My plan is to move out by December.

I don’t think this is worth doing.



Untitled 3 months ago

Everything seems to be revolved around getting my license.. which wont come until October, but once I get it, my real goal is to move out of my parents’ house. I’m not being childish when I say they’re pushing me out, and they hint at it every day. At nineteen years old, being homeless for almost a year was my way of starting out, until they began to beg me to come home. Save some money. Get my life on track. I’m saving money, on my way to my future, and they’re already trying to push me out. I’m going to start looking for apartments/places to live soon to move into in late October.
