Now that I got two A's in school, I should really strive for an A where it really matters. Life! I feel that at 25 I'm way behind in my life lessons. There is so much about being an adult I don't know. It's so difficult too. I know that I should sign up for a 401k, yet the big packet of info explaining what the heck it is (I still don't get exactly what it does) is sitting on my chair-side table collecting dust. The only reason I know what a muffler and a bumper is, is due to the fact that they are both damaged parts of my vehicle! Otherwise, I wouldn't know one end of a car from another. I'm also completely clueless about house stuff too. I was reading Bev's entries about her wonderful new home and all the repairs and home improvement projects her and her hubby are undertaking and I feel like I'm reading a foreign language. It's stuff I should know, but don't and it just shames me. I really wish I could step away from school and work and take a year off just to take some lessons from the school of life! I know I need it before I can take the next step.

I know the feeling, 'Quelle. I experienced the same when I lived at home with Mom and Dad in my early 20s. I finally made the big (and risky) decision of moving out on my own. I didn't had little more than a few dollars to my name, but that was fine. I learned so much, 'met myself' and experienced so many great things. It wasn't easy, but I look back on it as the best decision I've ever made. I know whatever you decide, you'll do the best for YOU and you'll learn so much in the process. All the best, dear friend.
Oy, what horrible English...
"I HAD little more than a few dollars to my name."
That's what I meant. hehe! ;)
Hey Bev,
Thanks for your kind words. I think what you suggest is what I really need to do. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, move out and live on my own. And not with a roommate or anything, but actually on my own so that only I am the only one responsible for myself! I hope I can get the courage to this soon and you are definitely an inspiration as I remember reading your blog when you lived on your own in your basement apartment in Alberta!
