Stuck in my one bedroom apartment for another year and paying $1,000 a month for it now ::crying::

Dublin prices pretty much.
OT: moved out since I turned 18.

Moving out sucks. Everything is so much easier when living with parents.

We've lived in this apartment for 2 years (this will be our 3rd year) so when we first got the apartment we were paying $875 a month. It's really sad how much it has gone up since then.

Easier, but not nicer. My parents suck

:C are they kicking you out?

Any idea where you're moving to yet? I hope it's in a safe area.

No, my parents are very... "surfacey". They uphold traditions and such. My father's alright when it comes to those things, but he has no chill as a person. My mother is the opposite. She is a religious nut that can't logic but she has too much chill.

My mother cooks, cleans, complains, and my father works and doesn't talk to anyone. Whenever those two do communicate it's often trouble. You see, my father has a default scolding voice, and my mother has a default victim mode. She always tells me to get out of her sight when I'm questioning her or wanting to talk (about when she's next gonna clean the clothes, or when we'll leave the house to go somewhere) because she doesn't have the patience.

They're the worst combination to have as parents. One expects me to have good grades, but doesn't express anything, and the other only expresses without actually helping me.

Oh, and I'm 17. As soon as I get accepted into a university I'll try to move as close to that area as possible.

I didn't even know what kind of a person my dad was until I was like 15

Lmao and you wrote that big speech about how you're such a mature adult

Your own parents don't even like you

My dad likes me a lot, and my mother dislikes me a lot.

That should tell you how mature I am. Also, when did I say that I was mature? Which "speech" are you referring to?

I'm really sorry to hear that. Your parents sound like a hell to live with, and funnily enough they sound like my parents minus the cleanliness and the actually caring about my grades... Hopefully they will help you in some way while you're off at Uni. Also Ramen noodles are really good and cheap. I know a lot of ramen hacks to make them taste really good.

Dublin prices pretty much.

Yeah, I lived in a few places around Dublin. The problem with Dublin is that people here didn't really plan things out - so everyone built their own house in an urban area. Now imagine, NY city center that looks like suburbs - retarded right? That's the shit they pulled off here - so rent is a-premo and no one has their own living space, everyone has to rent out rooms in a shared house. and some of the rooms cost almost as much as an apartment.

I lived in a pretty cool apartment for a year now - and the lease is about to end this August so I will be moving into my very own apartment closer to work.

Dublin should be just demolished and new high-rise apartment built up.

Sounds like Atlanta tbh since they burnt it down in 1864 and they didn't map it out when they rebuilt it and kind of just let things happen... like look at this mess! 


Holy crap I just looked at Dublin never mind lmao that's worse!


Dublin is more like a circle of chaos with a big river going through the middle of it whereas Atlanta just has multiple gigantic highways going through it. Still I bet Dublin is prettier than Atlanta.

Damn, Atlanta looks pretty planned out.
I bet the rent in Atlanta is also not that bad.

Dublin is just below LA. LA!!! Where the weather is not cancer and you can probably rent a dope apartment. Fucking hate the rent prices in this country.

Kinda had a tough time with my parents and decided that I would be better off on my own.
I also got some help from the government since they were giving me some money because I was a uni student. So I scraped by during first year, then got a summer job and managed to save up some money and that helped me a lot. Made a lot of good connections and my second year was easier. Life went uphill from there.
I managed to get the family situation back together - but I still preferred my own living space. Trust me man, its really great - as long as you are not under constant financial pressure.

I'm curious as to what happened, but you don't have to tell me if you think it's too personal.

That's why most people go out and make friends. Cabin Fever fucking sucks, and even if you have no friends to go out with, still go do the things you enjoy outside, beats staying at home going through the motions like a machine.

Yeah, living alone is pretty neat... y'know, until week 2 of not going outside and you start turning a little crazy from the isolation.

I would know what living on your own is like, because my parents go on vacation every summer and leave me and my brother behind. I was like 13 or so the first time, and with a brother that always works you're pretty much on your own.

Actually, the job at 7/11 ain't too bad. I get to communicate with a lot of people. Some faces stick with you, and others are so bizarre that you want to remember. There's also some kind of relationship where they put trust in you and talk with you as if they're giving you trust and consent. It's kinda difficult to explain it since it's a weird feel, but it's a pleasant feel.

Long story short - I did not like the way they were off-loading my little brother on me all the time. Sure I was 14 and was at home all the time - good luck finding anything to do in that butt-end of the country, so I was stuck with him all the time and sometimes I would half-ass baby sitting and generally not giving a shit because I was tired of it. So eventually it just got to the point where I would not leave my room because I knew that as soon as I would be noticed, I would be forced to babysit.
So one day I spoke to them and it got pretty bad and I literally got kicked out - I was delighted tbh, but yeah... That's pretty much it. Honestly, I am very happy that it happened (maybe not the way it did, but the fact that I had to just survive by myself with my own wits about me). Now I am fully independent.

Home alone as a kid is nothing like living by yourself as an adult.

Yeah, feels like being an adult gives you more freedom and also a bit more responsibility.
