Growing Pains: The Young Adult Version


Hey everyone! I know it’s been a while, but I've been distracted lately by my busy schedule. And today I just want to RANT!

So, I am a 21 year old student currently living with my parents and two little sisters. I know deep down inside it’s beyond a blessing to have the opportunity to live at home with no financial responsibilities when it comes to shelter, food, and my car. But, inside I am constantly screaming because I want out of here. I know I might sound ungrateful, but I’m not. I just feel as though I need some space, and some time to grow on my own a bit.

I know what you’re thinking. Why don’t you move? Why don’t you go and find your own place? Well, the answers to those questions are… I can’t. At least right now I can’t. I've been spoiled and very blessed, and I do not have the financial means to get out on my own. And quite honestly I might not be fully ready to go out on my own completely.

 So, even though I’m having these growing pains and want to break free of my parents and gain some much needed independence. I know I have to be smart. I want to take this blessing that God has given me and make the best of it. I know there are many people my age that would love the opportunity to be in my place. Even though I do see myself moving in the future, right now I am concentrating on saving, paying off my credit cards, and training myself to make smart financial choices in the future.

 I  know I totally complained at the beginning of my post, but I want to encourage anyone who is in my position and who is dealing with the same “growing pains” to be smart and try not to rush into anything. Thank God for the opportunity and begin planning for your future. Any who! Remember you only have one life, one Chance so make the best of it!
