But one that I cannot seem to get past.
What am I going to do? I need to find a place of my own, though I obviously cannot afford a mortgage on a place by myself but I don’t want to just rent a room somewhere in a house filled with strangers. My mom wants me to stay with her, as she is moving into a much larger house that will be finished construction in June, but not only would I feel like a bum, being 20 and living at my mom’s house for however long, but even if I did, it’s not like I would have the freedom that I need. I wouldn’t be able to bring boyfriends over and have them stay for a few days. I wouldn’t be able to have crazy parties that end in alcohol-induced stupors (not that I do, but if I wanted to…) It’s just like…. no matter how old I get, I will perpetually be fifteen, living under my mom’s rule and going no where in life.
I am on hiatus at University because I don’t know what direction I want my life to take, and I feel like a failure for that alone. Hiatus from school, living on my mom’s couch in the basement, no improvement in the forseeable future… what the hell am I doing? I feel like I gave up everything because it just wasn’t working out, but now it’s even worse. I am alone, I am going nowhere fast, and I am just… nothing. I feel like I have burnt out already, and I am not even twenty one years old. I don’t have the will to try to figure things out, because in the end, I’ll just end up back here where I am now.
And I’m sure that this is at least partially the depression talking, but come on…
I can’t be the one to try to hold things together anymore. I can’t be the one trying to excel at work (in vain, might I add) and the one trying to keep my mom and sister from being at each other’s throats and I can’t be the one trying to keep my uncle’s head above water, I can’t. Because I am struggling just to keep myself from drowning myself in vodka for the next few years of my life.
I don’t know what I need. But… I need something.
