I mean I've roommates of course, but ever since college started, I haven't lived with my parents.

Like, I actually haven't even seen them in over half a year now, which is kind of crazy.

But honestly, living on my own has been pretty fucking awesome.

I mean of course I still miss my parents you know... Um... I guess.

Without my parents around, I've been able to do a lot more things that I couldn't before.

My mom and dad aren't here anymore to tell me what I can and can't do.

So if I ever want to sit around, watch movies, and do nothing all day, there's no one to tell me I can't.

If I want to come home really late at night, I can because there's no one can tell me when to come home.

And if I meet a girl and want to bring her over, I can because I don't have to worry about my parent—aw fuck it who am I kidding, I still can't get a girl to even come over in the first place.

Living on my own has some challenges though.

For example, I had to learn how to cook, which I found out I actually really enjoy doing. I have a lot of fun making new dishes and trying out different things.

Not gonna lie, I'd have to say you know I'm pretty good.

And by that I mean I haven't burned down my apartment yet so, yeah that's pretty good.

Since I live in LA and Uber everywhere, I don't have a car.

I have all my groceries delivered to me which is actually way easier and super convenient for me.

Now you're probably thinking, "Wow you have them delivered to you? You lazy piece of fucking shit!"

Woah woah woah, first off, true.

But somehow it's cheaper for me to have it delivered so, why not?

Becoming closer to adulthood has also meant paying bills, which sucks because that means less money that I can spend on going out to eat, going to the movies, strip clubs—you know, whatever!

This is probably gonna sound lame, but I really like to figure out how to handle my money.

Like learning how to budget, and how to invest. I even trade stocks every week so I can save up for my future.

I know that sounds really fucking boring, but I like it.

I think that overall living with my parents had a ton of advantages, but at the same time, a lot of restrictions.

My parents care about me and love me a lot which I am very thankful for.

But like I'm sure all of you know sometimes what they think is best for you, isn't actually.

I think a lot of parents unintentionally set expectations for their kids to be a certain way.

Living on my own, and having the freedom to do what I want has made me a happier person.

Like I said, I haven't seen my parents in a really long time, but I'm okay with that.

Not that they’re bad people—my parents are great. It's just... Maybe I’m just an asshole, who knows.

Ever since I've moved to a bigger city, I've been able to travel, experience different cultures, and just be independent.

I'm always anxious to see what my future might be, but for now, I'm loving life.

I can genuinely say that I've never been this happy.

A lot of that has to do with your guys' support, and I do not thank you guys enough for that.

So from the bottom of my heart, thank you guys so much.

But that's pretty much all I have to say.
