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.

Try it, move out, but don't burn your bridges to move back in. Don't let pride get in the way of going home if you have problems.

@Gumba1000 of course. 100% agree with you. But if you ask me. I think my parents want me to move out. Just not the way I'm about to do it. They're just too nice. Parents need to be parents and not their kids friends. I hate to admit it but I'm somebody who just doesn't grow without some strong catalyst. It's when I'm pushed into a corner....that's when I make a great change in myself.
