I'll admit it

I'm a pathetic millennial who still lives with mom at the age of 21yrs. But I'm done with this playing it safe shit. It doesn't get me anywhere. I don't grow in an environment like that. Both of my parents keep following me when i leave the house. I had my own apartment for 2 months before my mom manipulated me once again into playing it safe. Sure i didn't have money for anything besides rent, bills, and food but I had a sense of pride knowing I had my own place. On top of all this I felt a certain hunger growing in me when i was living like this. I can't quite explain it but it disappeared when my mom moved in to "help me". I felt like something new was gonna happen. A new me was emerging and then I fell back into this safe life BS. There's nothing rewarding or exciting about taking it easy. I don't grow like this. I'm sorry mom but I'm packing my stuff and leaving next month. I know what proceeds after posting something like this so yeah i know....i deserve the ridicule. I'm a gutless millennial.

But I know something good will come from moving out. It's similar to a bird leaving the nest. It will grow stronger if it is to survive.

many people might envy your position , things are freaking expensive these days to make it on your own

@FurryFace I understand but in my environment it feels like I'm being constricted. I have bad work ethic when i ain't forced to work. It's like the comparison of someone running from a wolf vs someone running towards a tower of diamonds. The tower of diamonds ain't going anywhere so you can spare to take it easy sometimes but that wolf is hungry and it's either you rest and die or you run like hell.
