Yes, I live with my mom and feel cooped up. You are very fortunate that your parents are gone for weeks at a time. It's like having your own house. To get rid of that tiny town feeling, you could travel the world when your parents are home. That kills two birds with one stone. Alternately, you could buy a small house in a town you choose and display your books (I have 1,750 on my kindle btw). The third alternative is a tiny house. Have you seen those tiny homes that are on trailers you haul yourself or that have wheels? You could live from place to place but couldn't display your books. Each alternative has pros and cons. Good luck with your decision. They all sound exciting. Best wishes.
