there must be some other way out of here.....
I am becoming a cynic. (yes Joe D..you have read that right). It's not a constant thing - just more like"symptoms" - glimpses up my impending cynicism. I have gotten moodier over the past few moths. I chalk it up to my desperate need to move out. I hate living at home. Please don't comfuse with this the fact that I do love my family dearly. I just can't live with them anymore. It's a little to "cramped" here. Sadly, I have no money to move out, and no place to go. I feel like I argue constantly with my mom. Constantly trying to get a little more independence. I feel liek at almost 25, they should basically have no freakin say in anything that I do. Unfortunately it doesn't even come close to working that way. I think moving now it more a decision of my mental health than anything else. I'm tired of them dictating to me. Gotta break free. goootttaaa break free
I know what you mean, girl. I escaped that for a long time while in college, plus living overseas, then got a job, two actually, and then 9/11 happened and everything got shot to hell and I had to break my lease on my apartment and move home. I've had several places of my own since, but nothing long term. It's hard to escape parental input, which is most irritating at times. But in the end, the only people who love you unconditionally are family members. I take my family for granted a lot...it's easy, working for my dad...but if they weren't here I'd really miss them so I just try to enjoy their presence.
And, I've learned to tell them a lot less and not talk to them about life issue problems. My dad tries but is cynical, and my mom has been a housewife and mother for over half her life so doesn't truly understand the pressures of making it on one's own. I'm not dissing them, they made their choices and I've made mine. For instance, I could have chosen to be with the wrong man, several times, just to be "with" someone and not alone. Nope. Anyway...talking to them usually doesn't help, and listening to their advice never does.
I agree.I knwo my family loves me very much. I just feel liek its time to move on
and Joe..i have a job - sadly I cant do it on crutches though. =)
