A bit, yeah. I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself to become independent, to live on my own, to get a full-time job, to finish college, to be independent, stable, secure... it's something that I've been thinking about for a long time, something that has been eating away at my mind for the better part of a few years. I don't know why, but I want to live on my own. Well, not completely on my own - I'd love to live with someone else, a friend, perhaps - but... yeah.

I'm only 20, though, so it may take a few more years. My folks are saying that I probably won't move out until I'm 27 or 28, but I really don't like the idea of that...
