i think i just had a realization why at 26 i am still living at home.
Post Body

As a kid, i suffered from a variety of problems. to say it frankly - i was an A-Hole to the highest degree. Anxiety, aspergers, depression, a whole list of other things. My family supported me 100% but yet i was still hell. About 3 years ago i moved home after i graduated. What seemed like it was going to be a short term thing has turned into 3 years. Now, when talking to my folks they were saying its ok for me to stay to 30. And it got me thinking, why am i happy with this?


Because i'm now medicated, everything is so much better. Sure, we have rows, but we have a GOOD releationship, and it's something i never had with them growing up. Before 18 i barely remember things. I put a mental block up to stop myself beating myself up over being a dick to them and everyone, to draw a line in the sand as to that was the old and now i am the new.


So why do i think i am staying at home at 26 instead of getting my own place? i think i'm making up for lost time. For the first time in my life, i have a great releationship with my parents, a good releationship with my sister. Things are calm, my parents help me and i help them without arguments, and i cant remember the last time we had a full on break down together over something dumb. So i think i'm happy staying here for a few more years. I'm actually developing a releationship with my parents and sisters and, despite it being late, i think its working. Mum is happy, Dad n me are going on a brewery tour and me and my sister talk. Can't really ask for much more.


To make this a casual conversation and not just an observation about my life, what are nonconforming things you have done in your life because F-it, it feels good?
