today marks six months since i moved out of my parents' home. i left home to find independence, and a new adult life in a new city and state. well i sure found a new life, but i'm not sure its all that adult. sure i'm more independant (though i confess, not 100%, its more like 95%) and i have a grown up job, and live on my own (as in not under my parents' roof), but i still very much feel like a kid. at times i suppose that i feel more like i'm playing the part of an adult, rather than actually being one—thus the title of my blog.
i'm learning, though. i'm learning the freedom—and at the same time, boundaries—of being an independent being. i'm discovering who i am when no one pressures me to be anything in particular. i can't say i'm quite satisfied with it yet, but there is still more to discover. there are good habits to conquer, bad ones to banish, opportunities to take advantage of, and generally speaking, much more to pursue. if there is one thing i know, its that i don't have to settle for anything at this point in my life—i can make it what i want it, and if i'm not happy, i can do something completely different. for now though, i think things are going in a good direction, so i'll stick around here for a while longer and see where they take me.
