I’m so proud of myself for moving away from home

Back when I was in university I couldn’t wait until I was older and could take care of things on my own.

I certainly appreciated my parents to death however when I was younger they used to be incredibly strict and overbearing! All of my friends and mentors would consistently tell me that I was going to miss living back at my old residence once I started school and regret picking a university that was so far away.

Not only did that not turn out to be true, but I am totally grateful that I made the choice to attend school far away from my old residence every day. Now that I am on my own I am in full control of what goes on in my apartment no matter what. I have a cute studio apartment all to myself and everything about it is essentially tuned to my liking. Back at home, my parents had an acute case of hoarding and they never ran the air conditioning machine even on the warmest of afternoons. I used to go to bed feeling terribly overheated and wake up sweaty while I was in the summertime weeks. Thankfully those afternoons are finally behind me now that I have a state of the art air conditioning machine that is also seriously energy efficient. Every time I come back to my apartment from a sweaty workout I am instantly cooled off and refreshed once I step through the doorway. It feels so nice to believe that I got myself out of a situation that I didn’t savor all on my own rather than making complaints and doing nothing about it… Life on my own is entirely great and I don’t think I ever want to live with anyone else, especially my parents!
