I loved by myself all of last year. I basically moved out of the house and went to school when I was 17, and then my parents decided to move to the other side of another country :dunno:
I can honestly say that I have matured a TON, (not just blowing my own horn here, has been noted by others), because I was put out there to basically fend for myself. I had my parents backing if anything bad happened, but they were a last resort only if it got too bad. I made a bunch of mistakes, but I learned from them and they are lessons I am gonna have with me for my life now.
Moving out was one of the best things I ever did
