To the girl who thinks it's time to move out but is scared...

I am walking in your shoes at this exact moment in time. I got in a pretty bad fight with my mom and I have started considering moving out. It's a scary feeling to know that you are about to take full responsibility of your life. You are going to have your own problems to take care of. You will have your own life, your own bills, and your own self to rely on. Your parents have always been there to help with out with everything you've ever needed. And now you know it won't be the same anymore. It's terrifying, but you can do it. I'm sure you have a strong head and you can do anything you put your mind to. I know that as I am saying this, it doesn't make that scared feeling go away. I am going to be honest with you. It is going to be hard. You can't go out all the time anymore. You have to grow up. You are going to have to save some money. I save a little money out of every paycheck and put it away in a savings account but I also take all bills and change and put them in a piggy bank. All you have to do is save a little every week. Let's say instead of going out with your friends five times a week, you go out once maybe twice, and put the money you would spend those other three or four times into rent for this month or your phone bill. This is a manageable step into adulthood. You could always look into gathering up a couple friends and going in on a place together. Now you won't be making all of the payments yourself. It will make it easier on you plus you won't be alone. It is always good to have a strong support system. They will be the ones there for you when you feel like you can't do it on your own. Let me tell you a secret though, you can do this. You can make a life for yourself if that is really what you want to do. You need to make sure that you leave no relationship without fixing it. Like I said earlier, I got into a bad fight with my mom. I like to think that I have fixed my relationship with here because I know that I am going to need her. Do not leave relationships broken.

So are you still thinking you are ready to move out? Go for it! Be an adult. You just have to realize that big responsibilities come with your choice. I've given you a couple ways that work, you could do the same or even think of some on your own. Either way, you got this girl. Take control!
