I moved out of our parent’s home a long time ago, and I am unquestionably ecstatic that I did.
I am an adult, and I have grown used to living on our own.
Where I live, there is nobody that can tell myself and others what to do. I have total control over everything. For me, the most important part was having control over the HVAC units in our house; My family was downright different about how they used their HVAC units. For them, the thermostat constantly had to be set to the extreme. During the summer, their central a/c would keep the home cold cold. They l earned that if you adjusted the thermostat to the coldest setting, you could keep your central a/c running 24/7 without it ever stopping. Because of the a/c, our home would actually reach 55-60 degrees during the afternoon, and it would be even colder in the home during the evening. However, during the winter, their heating idea would keep the home at a toasty 85 degrees. I never understood it, and I was ecstatic to transfer away. However, the people I was with and I go on a family holiday every year, and this family holiday requires that I share a room with our family! Even though I constantly wished that they would allow myself and others to set the thermostat of a single of the rooms, I constantly end up having to program the HVAC units to their rules. This makes myself and others downright grumpy, and I have trouble getting along with them. I assume it is tploy that distance makes the heart grow fonder.
