I Want to Be Independent

I want to be independent of parents, religion, friends, housemates, the instinct to please everyone, the longing for a partner...still striving towards that stage. It's a lonely road but damn, I will get there!

Even the guy who lived in the woods for years, and shunned humanity depended on others for survival. They found he’d been stealing food from – I think – a church pantry. We are all interdependent on others to one degree or another, whether we accept it or not.

@Carissimi Agreed. I still love and want my friends and family around...it's just that I don't want to be utterly reliant on them for emotional completion and financial survival, know what I mean?

Yes. With your clarification, I have a better understanding of your meaning. Go for it. @ShieldUp
