I know sometimes I have a habit of posting my "drama-queen" posts that no one wants to see. But then I delete them after a while. I try not to do this because of professional contacts; but we are all human and I would hope that some of us can relate to each other in some form.
I know my Dad acts the way he does out of worry in his crotchety, old man sort of way. Picture the grandpa from "Everybody Loves Raymond" or "All In The Family." That's totally my Dad! For real! So now you know what I have to deal with..Every time I watch "Everybody Loves Raymond" I'm like, "That is totally my Dad!!"
I appreciate my parents support all these years and I know I have to move on with my life and see if I can do it all on my own. I like hanging out with my mom so I guess that's why I don't mind living here. And even though my Dad's a pain sometimes I think he is glad to have me around to keep an eye on them. I mean I did live away for a year and I think for a time, when I came back to visit he was glad to have me around.
I almost did stay in Iowa. I had serious thoughts of maybe creating a life on my own there...but I am a city girl at heart. I love Chicago (with it's corrupt politics and all). The city has a lot to offer for the performing arts and I would like to be a part of that.
So yes, I do want to live on my own; maybe get a couple cats in a little place of my own. I know I can make it happen! I am talented and I just need to work those talents and stop telling myself I'm not good enough, and just make life happen.
