Honestly thinking about this question brought back so many memories. This is because life is all about making decisions and I have made quite a lot of Decisions in my life. Not all of them I'm proud of, but then there are some decisions I have taken in life that when I remember them, it puts a smile on my face and makes me a bit proud of myself.
One of these decisions was when i decided to leave my family house and stay on my own, fending for myself.
Back then, When I took this decision, there was serious battle at home. This is because my parents never wanted me to leave the house, reason being that they didn't like the idea of me having to pay for house rent, pay for food and the rest when I can get it all for free at home.
I was totally determined to win the battle, because I believed that if I start fending for myself, it would motivate me to work harder and earn more. Looking back now, I am actually proud of myself because there is a lot I wouldn't have achieved if I remained in the family house.
I am totally In with your decision of staying independently. I think this is one experience all of us should have after a certain age. It helps us to grow independently which not only makes us strong but also gives us a lot of exposure. It helps us develop a mindset that is free from the prejudice of the family members. It aids in self exploration too.
WOW! Reading through your answer make me keep my mouth open, this I can also see myself in it, because it was what happened to me also, it was right and a good decision you have took 🤗
