Ever since I started going to university, I kinda love independent living. After a while I would start to miss my family but then if I spend too much time with my family I feel that it starts to get boring and I look forward to "alone time" again.

I can only do it semi independant.

I cannot live totally alone or I start
to think stupid thots, I do better
when I am with my brother.

I can't wait to be able to live independently. I want to have the freedom and choice to eat what I want, do what I want, live where I want, be as messy as I want, etc.

A life without being nagged constantly by my mum will be a better life :lol:

It drives me absolutely batty trying to share living space with humans. Even the ones I like and admire. Just the physical proximity of another person starts to get on my nerves after a while, even if they're at the other end of the place with the door closed. Sooner or later, they all want something - food, water, attention and upkeep of some sort - and most are at a complete loss as to how to entertain themselves and do so quietly. "Come eat with me, come watch television with me, come talk to me" Bah! Humbug! :evil:

I'm sure I'd love it if I had enough money to try it.

Be careful on that one, haha. Trust me--I sometimes wish I had someone to make me clean up my messes or, better yet, clean them up for me (and without complaining about it :x).

That being said, yes, I love living independently, messes and all. :D

I don't know. I like living with my parents, and i doubt i'll be moving out anytime soon. At this point in time i don't think i'd be able to live independently.
