so are you liking chicago? are your parents giving you money for anything or are you now fending for yourself? because in december i'm quitting school and beginning my own life. but i'm really scared. i'll need a job and an apartment, etc. but despite being poor and having to work, is it nice being on your own? is it liberating? is it what we'd always wanted it to be? at least a little bit?
My parents said they would send money when they could for food/necessities but they haven't sent anything yet and I'm not expecting anything, which is fine. I've got $100 to my name and no job (yet). I make new friends or acquaintances almost everyday. It's extremely liberating and I don't remember being happier. BUT at the same time, I still have a lot of the same problems and things to do when I was living with my parents.
It's better, don't get me wrong. It's just not what I expected (it never is).
that's what i'm telling myself too: it won't be the way i'm expecting it. which is funny because i'm trying to concoct every possible senerio to be ready for it. but there is no being ready for it. but if i'm happy, then it makes no difference. so here i go into the abyss!
