Starting Over!!!
This brings a whole new meaning to starting over...
I left home when I was twenty-years old. I thought
"This isn't fair, i'm too young to be out there in the world. I would just be in everyones way"
I don't understand it... I grew up poor, and i'm trying desperately to break away from that vicious cycle, and (finally!) make MYSELF happy.. but how does it work. It's not such a friendly place, and I would consider myself to be completely benign.
I'm frustrated because I don't have any friends where I live now, and it's not a place I wish to spend the rest of my life, or the money that i've managed to calculate myself saving, which is a feat for any young woman.
Debt, finally working, after that horrific downturn that is now called a recession, but i'm not married.. have no children, and mused by my independence.
Oh, do I love my independance.
How do I make myself feel more powerful, as a becoming young woman, still in university, but also, a mature enough adult, ready to make their own decisions?
How is money affecting the way we live today and if we (as canadians) albeit, have a values system, where does it categorize our independence and freedoms?
-Young.
Re: Starting Over!!!
Uhhhh....huh?
Yeah...
Okay...You left home at twenty, how old are you now? How exactly are you "starting over"? The "starting over" this board refers to is actually divorce.
What are you wanting? I can't tell you what will make you feel more powerful because everyone is different. For me, it was working while in school and being able to pay all my bills by myself.
And I am not Canadian, so I can't answer your last question.

You do realize that 20 is not an abnormally young age to leave home, right?
About two paragraphs into that, next to the "1 post" status, I scrolled to the end to find the linkspam link.
There's no link. Now I'm confused.
