Not sure on the best way to format these posts (hence the one-word title), but I'll do my best.
Up until about this past June, I have not been in a good headspace. I went through a depressive spell for around ten months where I felt completely lost and worthless. I have shed the feeling of worthlessness, though the purposeless feeling remains. After consuming different self-improvement media over the course of this year, one problem has consistently come up:
"Do I move out of my parents' home?"
So far, I have leaned towards the side that says "Move Out". However, I have heard many conflicting voices saying that my ego is telling me to move out and that it is beneficial to take the ego hit and stay living with my parents. The biggest problem is that my parents have lived the Slowlane their entire lives and do not seem keen on even acknowledging the Fastlane. This lack of support is a big key in my thoughts of moving out.
Another factor is that I see moving out as a way to force myself to find a way to survive without the help of mommy and daddy. I've always stuck by the mantra of "If there is a will, there is a way", and if I were to move out, there would most-certainly be a will to survive, less I sleep on the Sidewalk.
Essentially, is my ego telling me to move out, or is this a serious move I should consider in this crazy game of chess? Any insights are welcome, and I greatly thank you in advance for even viewing this
