lost for words

I'm at this certain state in which, time is of the essence. I've realized yeah I'm still young but not young enough to not have to worry. Worry about life after college, looking for places to stay, a career to succeed in... The list goes on and on. I look at other people and I wonder "How did they make it to where they're at today?". I feel like, because out of my sisters I've been the only one who hasn't been able to experience the life away from my parents and that I am lacking in the ability to branch out and grow on my own. To EXPERIENCE the reality of life. I've learned how to cook, I've learned how to do my own laundry, I've learned how to keep a job for more than 1-2 years... all that sometimes makes me wonder how would it be if tomorrow I went up to my parents and said, "Mom, Dad... I'm moving out". I know for a fact that it's going to be hard and that there will be many obstacles but maybe I need that. I can't be sheltered like this. I want to work for the things I have because that's how it's going to be. Maybe I'm not ready or maybe I am, you never know until you let me try...

Oh how wondrous thoughts run through my head... I can't seem to tame them, because I thrive for more.

Once you start working in the real world, you'll realize how much you're saving by staying at home. You'll probably get rich before I do. In the last 4 years alone, I've spent over $60,000 on rent/food/laundry/parking/internet/gas/electricity/transportation/flights/etc. Think about it. I could've bought half a house with that -_- or a really nice S-class Benz... or a gorgeous wardrobe... or all the latest cool gadgets... or saved for two of my future childrens' college education... or saved for a REALLY nice wedding plus the honeymoon!

Ugh...$60,000 down the drain... I'm never seeing that money again :(
