I've been out of my parents house for almost 2 years now. For the first summer I was living with my friend and her mom so that doesn't really count, but I absolutely love being independent. The bills definately suck sometimes, but it's worth it. Every once in awhile I get homesick, and because my parents live a couple of hours away I can't just go home whenever I want so that sucks. After finding out about PCOS and whatnot I think I get homesick more than I used to, but I can call my mom pretty much whenever so that helps. Living on my own has its ups and downs, but it's definately worth it. You have no reason to be scared. Especially since you're still close to home you can go back whenever you want. Good luck! |
