i can’t believe i’m finally on my own. it was a difficult decision but i’ve moved on and now slowly coping up with the changes. Many thought that i’m crazy to have left a comfortable life that my parents had created for me but i just couldn’t continue living with the over controlling rules that my mom especially set for us..it’s too much! all my life i’ve wanted space for myself…and now that i’m finally getting to it..i admit is scary for me since i have never had to face life on my own. it’s like i was taken back to being a child just learning her first few steps. I am just most grateful to my dad who despite of his worries of letting me go on my own, wholeheartedly supports and gives me encouragement. I am just so fortunate to have my dad. I so much appreciate the friends that i had over the years who have somehow made me feel that I can make it no matter what…these friends that have been there the moment i set foot to my new home and helped me put things together. Even in difficult times it helps to have these kind of people around and lift your spirits up! I know i have a lot to go through and it’s all to early to tell but i refuse to think of the what if”s…all i know is that i’m living my life right now, right this moment and heading on to a life i can call my own!

Leaving the nest is one of the hardest things to do, but so necessary for children. I left the nest many years ago and I remember it was daunting to say the least. I also thought that my mother’s rules were to strict, but now that I am a parent, I am even worse. Love in the end conquers all, so love your parents, they are a gift to you as you are a gift to them.
