Well, here's the short of it. I live with my mom. And lately I've been concerned. What if I live out my whole life with my mom. Not going out. Not making friends. Not having any lovers. Not getting married or having kids. I mean, I live with my mom. How degrading do you have to get. A perfectly capable 22-year-old. What am I to do?
Getting stressed out about this cannot be a good step to take. I've already gotten a job, albiet it's at a place where a kid can be a kid. Not exactly grown-up, mature material. It's a job. And maybe there will be people there who don't have kids of their own unlike at my previous place of employment. Everyone asked "Do you have kids?" I felt like laughing at them...at my young age, of course not. But young is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe I should have some kids. What's wrong with me!?
I think that's a question everyone asks at some point in their life. Whether it's wondering why we aren't as athletic as the other third-graders or not as brainy as that Valadictorian, it's something we just can't help expressing to the world. Why am I different, why am I "special."
Often we see ourselves stuck between extremes. Well, I'm not like my dad... but I'm not like my mom, either. So what do we do in situations like this.
Well, I'd like to take time to tell a story about when my family took a family vacation out to Padre Island. We had just started driving on the strip that leads to the island when it starts pouring buckets of rain, buckets. And we just turned on the windshield wipers and kept driving. Then came the hail. And we just kept on driving. It turned out to be a beautiful night on the beach, with threads of lightening coming down from the sky in the distance. We never would have made it if we didn't keep driving. And that's how life is. You just gotta keep driving.

Any... really... you may want to check on that. Anyway I thought your time with your mother is temporary. You would live with her until you could get through some problems and then get back on your feet. Remember you’re Pooh and stop stressing out about little stuff your just 22 if you where 35 then maybe you should think about moving out. It is ok to have some doubt in life but you cannot let this questions drag you down. Swallow your pride or fear or what ever it is that keeps you in your room and do the things that I know you want to do. Nobody said it was going to be easy... But nobody said that it would not be worth it...
