I moved back into my parents’ home over a year ago. My life hasn’t changed much and time continues to march forward without me. Being a boomerang kid did not accomplish anything. I moved back to the nest to get a handle on my finances, attempt a transfer to UIC, and to become healthier. I sit in the same situation I found myself in August 2008. My finances are broken, I am not prepared to attend a four year college, and I’m still unhealthy. What I am doing isn’t working. I am not growing or moving forward. It’s time to make some changes.
I’m making a permanent break. A few drastic changes will be made based on what worked and didn’t from the past year. It’s going to be a gradual process so everyone in my life can adjust to the new normal. The process won’t be popular to people in my family because it’s not the status quo we’ve lived with all these years. I need to look back and see what worked and what didn’t. Some people will come on board because they want the best for me. Others will try to hold me back and I need to let go of them. Many more I need to ignore. Tomorrow can’t wait anymore.
I decided to get myself a Christmas gift this year. I haven’t been happy with where I have taken my life. There are things I want to change and improve. I haven’t lived my life to its fullest potential everyday. I can return my new life if I’m unsatisfied for whatever reason.
