I said something like this one time... it was funny/awkward. Hope you're doing good!

I'm hanging in there haha. Thanks for asking. How are things with you?

Same! Trying to compose myself because I'm going to be moving in less than a month! But I don't really give a sh!t about relocating because it's not like I met anyone worth it here, it's just crazy stressful having to box up and go like a nomad every few years. I'm happy though, finally I'll be moving to a city I love!

That's great! I wish I had the ability to move. At this point I would be content moving into my own apartment in the area haha. Unfortunately I don't have the money to rent on my own and the only person I would feel comfortable sharing a place with currently is 6 years older than me. I'm sure you'll fit in just fine in the new city.

Oh don't worry, I'm still living with my parents and I'm 22! haha I plan on getting out of there very very soon though. I just need to find a job and I knew I couldn't here if I decided to move with them...

and I did because I wanna get out of this small minded town if you know what I mean. There are so many opportunities for me there so hopefully I can be on my own soon in Atlanta! I know you'll get on soon too, you seem like a very independent person!

I've been told that a lot. It doesn't really help that my mom is smothering me. Recently she has been really nosey about everything. She's asking about who I'm hanging out with, where I'm going, what I'm doing. It's not like I'm drinking, smoking, or anything of the sort. Even if I was I'm not going to be stupid or irresponsible about it..

I think the biggest thing that irritates me is she assumes that the people I am hanging out with are "corrupting" me. It's as if she believes that high school students don't do those things and now that I am hanging out with people that are in their 20s I am being exposed to all this bad stuff.

Ha, that sounds so much like my mother I almost feel like you're my twin! I'd sugar coat it for you, but it doesn't get any better. Protective mothers will always be protective. Mine has seemingly gotten worse lately and I just don't get why she has such a tight grip on me... I guess it's because she knows I'm an adult now and will be leaving the house soon, starting my own life. One she may not approve of.

She doesn't even really put thought into her accusations/concerns on top of it. The night of the election I went out to celebrate with people from the campaign (I volunteered to fill the time when I was unemployed) and she was worried that I was drinking. I'm still confused how i would have gotten a drink when I am 18 and we were at a restaurant.

Hopefully she'll start to back off a bit soon. It's gotten to the point where I either try to not be home or when I am home I hide in my bedroom haha.

Aww lol just be glad you're not a daughter... imagine how much more protective she'd be of you then! I honestly was drinking well before 18 XD I guess you could say I was a bit of a rebel.

I guess that's true. I'm an only child so maybe that's why she's acting this way.

I'm an only child as well... it's crazy haha.

People constantly tell me. "Oh Matt, you're so lucky to be an only child." That's anything but the truth for me. With one child my mom has nobody else to worry about XD. The only advantage I could think of was the spoiling when I was younger.

I get told the same thing, its sad lol they don't understand the freedom they can get! and yeah the spoiling was fun while it lasted... but its time for them to let our wings fly man! haha

Definitely, It will happen sooner or later. I think she is trying to just slow it down. I love your avatar. It pretty much reminds me of how my mom views me as of the past few weeks (except I'm a guy of course.)

Yeah my mother is doing the same thing I think. Thank you! I made it last night and can't stop laughing. This is SO what Rebecca does in her offtime... I ended up having a dream with gangsta Rebecca in it lastnight though and she killed Justin Bieber. Was awesome! XD

That would be the best dream ever haha. I wish I had awesome dreams like that. I usually have dreams that are pretty much a more pleasant version of my current life, after which I wake up and am filled with sadness/rage.

That's when I actually remember the dreams though.
