I haven't lived at home since I

was 15, and I have to say: it made significant changes in my personality. I still love my parents, and try to see

them/speak to them a lot, but I love my independance.


I am not suggesting that there is anything wrong with

living with your folks, as my brother only recently moved out at the age of 26; I simply feel that it helped my

development so much that I wouldn't have had it any other way.

It's great to have place that is your own to

take a girl back to, as well. There's something of the naughty teenager about bringing a girl back to a parental

abode (which can be quite nice for a weekend, but would freak me out in the long run. No screaming, or room

changing etc etc)

Either or, really. I just like it this way.

Peace and Love
