nastro azzurro confident new me

cant wait 3 months ago

to do this. im living with my folks at the moment because of my work situation.

so just need to sort out the work and then i want to move out and find a place of my own.

i may or may not choose to share with a housemate etc as i prob wouldnt be earning much.

i really want to do this, as i miss my independence and doing what i like, how i like. and im 29 years old and i dont wanna live with them anymore.

love em and all but i want to be on my own now, had it before, want it again.

not their fault, its mine, cos my work life became a mess, now i need to sort it and get back on track.

Untitled 14 months ago

I’ve been living with roommates since I started college. I’m ready to come home to an apartment that’s clean, nicely decorated, and free of other people. I’m moving back to the States soon, maybe this is my chance.

Creating my space 16 months ago

I have been living with flatmates for way too long (currently live with 3 other people). It is time for my own place. I would like to buy my own flat one day.



expensive; a lot of work; but it feels better ... 19 months ago

to have the space to achieve my next goal – find myself!

Living with Roommates 20 months ago

I’m very fortunate to have a friend and her husband agreeable to my living with them as I moved to WA from MT. The deal was made knowing I would stay until her husband finished his undergrad or I found a smashing deal. He has school through the summer, but I think I’ve found a place.



I moved into my own place for the first time in January and I love it! 20 months ago

I’ve lived with my mother, roommates and my husband while we were married for over seven years. I have never lived by myself and I’m now 33 years old. It’s March now and the novelty has not worn off yet. It’s so great to have my own space. My own kitchen, bathroom, etc.

I’ve never had so much peace and quiet in my entire life. No wonder I’ve had problems with anxiety and my health. My seizure disorder has even improved tremendously since moving out on my own.

I was living with my mother for the last couple of years and she was really getting to me. She was constantly watching me, waiting for me to create a life for her. That’s not my responsibility and it’s so good to be free of that. Our relationship is much better now that we both have more space, even though she had a terrible time letting go when I left.

I can cook in my own kitchen now. No one can tell me that I’m making a mess or that they aren’t in the mood for enchiladas. I can do whatever I want! (I feel like I’m about five years old when I say that!)

I don’t have to explain why I’m taking a nap, why there are dishes in the sink overnight, why I’m taking another shower, why I need to leave at night to run an errand, and so forth. There is no one to evaluate, monitor, judge or witness my actions and choices. I am free to be who i want to be without disapproval or criticism.

I’m learning that I make better choices now that I am free to make them myself. I’m even eating healthier and have lost around 15 pounds!

TO ALL ADULT CHILDREN LIVING AT HOME: Move OUT NOW!!! You will never grow up until you do. Take it from a 33 year old who has lived with roommates and even been married. Until you live on your own, you will never learn who you really are. I should have done that before getting married. I’m sure I never would have chosen him as my husband in the first place if I got to know myself better and grown up a little. Sure, I grew up when I got married, but there are parts of me that never grew up because that kind of growth occurs when you are by yourself. These “ungrown” parts are the ones I struggle with the most right now. I know it’s going to take awhile but I’m sure I’ll get there later than sooner.



Crazy... 21 months ago

So, my mom has PTSD from my grandmother passing away. She FREAKED OUT and kicked me and my sister out in Oct. I stayed with my fiancee for about two weeks and then got into my own apartment. It happened fast, but it was so worth it. I’m extremely glad that this is off my list.
