random

living at home again after four years of living away has taught me a lot of things about myself. i find myself fighting my parents battles and i find myself expressing my parents anger. i struggle to be myself. i lost myself once, but i didnt know who i was. i wont let that happen again, i know who i am, i will fight for myself.

I think i might have to face that again. Graduating soon.
Not sure if that would be my reaction though. Last time I went back in teh hols, I found myself doing things my mom generally wants me to, and which i DONT generally do. I found myself thinking of how precious the time is that we have with our parents and how little of it there is left.
25 years flew past. don't wanna waste teh time ahead. it gets more precious as it passes

its different being at home for the holidays and knowing that u'll go back in a week or so, and soo completely different living at home week after week, month after month. when u r home for a short while, you want to do everything ur mom tells u even if u generally dont do those things. plus u get pampered and spoilt. but living at home permanently... its hard for both u and ur parents to reach a balance, where u get ur space and they get what they want. it takes time to adjust and a lot of patience. but its good to be living at home for a change, especially when u know that this is the last time u'll really live at home....goin for masters, getting married etc. enjoy the time u have at home, cos it is precious, but also be prepared for a lot of adjustment anxiety :)
