I’m desperately trying to leave my parents house.
I’ve lived with my parents for about 28 years now. I’ve been looking for places around where I live now or at least close to my job but everything is ridiculously expensive. Even with a roommate it’s absurd. I’ve looked at renting a room in a house or a back house and everything is either for students or over priced. All I want is a studio with a bathroom and a tiny little kitchen. Literally all I need. I watch Japanese vlog channels on YouTube and they show their apartments and it’s a dream. I want a place of my own where I can come home to after a long day of work and not have to clean up someone else’s mess. Or wait my turn to use the bathroom. Or have another useless argument about something stupid just because someone came home mad. I’m already ignored and not included here at home. So they will absolutely not miss me when I’m gone. I’ve discussed this with my boyfriend and he supports me. I’ve asked him to move out with me but he said he can’t afford it. Understandable. I almost never leave my room other than to go to work, the gym, or to go do errands. I’m usually on my computer or watching tv or playing video games. Seriously, I’m always in my room. My job pays well but it doesn’t pay enough for me to go and get my own apartment. Everything around Los Angeles is from 1500-3000 a month for a studio. It deeply depresses me that I’m going to live in my parents house for the rest of my life.
