So I have a question that I would love some help answering. At what age to you start to feel like an adult???I am 23 years old soon to be 24 and I feel like im stuck at 16, or let me rephrase that, like i have made no progress since i was 16. Granted I have a good job and have learned a lot along the way. I feel like in no way, shape or form, am I ready to be and adult. I have seriously been contemplating moving out of my parents house lately. I'm so torn. If I leave what do I do. Get a small place and live alone, Get a roomate someone that I know, or move in a random situation with random people and figure it out as i go, or stay at home and save money to buy some property. To be honest, the independence may be good for me it may be a good life lesson to be completely alone. I moved out for about 3 years..... moved into college and then in with an ex bf but it didn't exactly work out so im afraid to go through it again. I went shopping with my mom today and as we went to the register to pay and she pulled out her credit card i thought "how could i do this without my mom". I'm freakingnot a little kid though so of course I can, I think im having preventative seperation anxiety?
idk just thinking aloud.
If anyone cares to respond I could use the advice
So... This is my first post on this site. I just joined today and and looking forward to using this as a non judgemental source to express myself. I don't really want anybody I know to read my journal entries. I just think its an invasion like letting my guard down without actually wanting to. So at least with this it is anonymous and nobody on here will judge me. Correction they will probably but their opinions don't matter.
It'd Christmas time and I hate this time of year. It's always been really difficult for me because half of my family is here and half is in Chicago. The whole be greateful for everything and be with ur family attitude rubs me the wrong way since I am not fully able to do either.
I am looking forward to Christmas being over so I can start off fresh with a new year. This past year has been filled with a lot of up's and downs. Got my heart broken, ruined my credit, started a new job, ended some unhealthy friendships. I learned some things along the way but I am ready to put all the negative behind me and start anew. I think that this next year is going to be my year. So hopefully next January I'll look back on this post and be thankful that this chapter of my life is over.
I'm heading to bed now. Will post again soon!
