There's a man who lives near me called Dougie and he's 42,
lives with his mum and counts the traffic.

With current property prices here, even "successful" people
have to move back in with their parents occassionally. It's
nothing to be ashamed of.

I'm back home for a year after having moved out three years
ago... it sucks, but it's free :)

My mother, a week before she died, told me I "never finish
anything". This has given me the motivation to do a lot of
"finishing" the past few months since she passed. So, don't
be too hard on yourself about it. Just find some motivation.

good point jivverdicker..

definitely dont be hard on yourself nacmat.. in time youll
work out what it is you are "supposed" to be doing with life
(im banking on the same thing). it happens to everyone.
and if all thats wrong is a motivational problem and feeling
a bit disappoined about where your life seems to be stuck,
then remember it could be alot worse.
theres hundreds of cliches about this kind of thing (at
least you have your health etc) ..but theyre cliches because
theyre actually quite true.

dont get too despondent.

if you really want to, you should be able to live on your
own.

you'll have to get a semi-crappy job, or at least not
something you really like.

but it shouldn't be that big a problem.

"not working since last year to end my final degree

"

"well... I am looking for a job in some architect studio
finally.

"

Yes, i think it would probably be a good idea to find a job.
Any job really. It seems to me there are two kinds of
people... the ones with self-discipline, and the ones
without ;-) I am definitly one of the ones without it
myself. Having no responsibilities makes me lazy.

I paint and make drawings and stuff. It is my dream to
eventually become a children's book illustrator. When I just
graduated from artschool I didn't want to get a job either,
so i could focus on my paintings instead. But I did
absolutely nothing for months and months and months.
Felt really bad about myself. Guilty and worthless, like i
was just taking up space :-o

But now that i have work (just as a mailman, it has nothing
to do at all with art) i feel alot better about myself. Like
i am contributing to society in a very small way. I can't
really explain it, but it made a huge difference for me.

And I do alot more painting too, even though i have less
time for it than when i didn't have a job.

Probably also because i realise now that delivering mail is
definitly not something i would want to get stuck in for the
rest of my life... it's really motivating i can assure you
:-p

Ofcourse a job in an architect-studio would be even better
for you... i hope you can find one!

I also still live with my parents by the way (well... just
my mother), and i'm 25.
They say that after you've lived on your own you can never
go back. But i haven't lived on my own yet, so i don't
really mind :-p
I've registered to get a place of my own. But that usually
takes many years. Especially if you want a cheap
appartment ;-) So I'll probably be living with my mom for a
while.

Don't feel bad, nacmat... it took me a little while longer
than average to finish university, but it's been totally
worth it... especially when I saw the statistic about how
many people don't.

I agree that having a job in order to put some external
responsibilities into your life would probably be a good
thing... ditto what surrounded said, basically.

And yes, we love you here! :)

you're not a disaster, you're a work in progress.

what you've done is not as important as what you are doing.
in the end it's the little things that will count most,
words and acts of kindness. focus on your successes, no
matter how small, and forgive your failures.

all of us came here without an instruction manual. : )

Having your own house or money isn't what makes a person.
What makes a person is the number of bitches you buck in a
year.

Obviously your own house helps in this quest, but you just
find yourself girls who like doing it outdoors and buy a
tent.

You're not a disaster, look at your post count! You're a
living legend!

Who cares about living with your parents. Moving out is not
some big thing, it's not a gauge on how successful or
unsuccessful you are at all. You'll finish your degree and
be off and running. And you've always got modelling to fall
back on. You could hang your heart on those cheekbones.

i was also born in 1975, and im a mess as well
haha...apperantly it wasnt a good year, but i try not to
think about it

anyway, i too live at home (same place ever since i was born
haha), but luckly my parents moved out about 10 years ago -
i guess they were fed up with me...seriously tho, i speak to
them on the phone almost every week, and during summer i
visit them almost every weekend (but thats just cos its
convenient - they live at the seaside, and well i get a free
place to stay at, with service and everything haha).
i work at the same place i started 10 years ago...i still
havent finished my final degree (i keep telling myself it
was cos of work...but thats not entirely true)...anyway that
degree wont change anything about my pay or line of work so
i stoppped thinking about that.
i dont get anything out of a day as i cant manage my time to
well, im always in a hurry...so i relax here with posting
every night...i do it even at work heh...otherwise it would
be just to stressful :)
i should have a familly by now, but instead i spend most of
my money on music...i like going to gigs (im 28 but acting
like i was 16), i get stoned almost every friday, saturday,
sunday, sometimes even during week...
i treat most of my friends like shit...i dont answer when
they phone me if im not in a mood, i always find excuses for
not going out if i dont feel like it, but hey, they dont
give up - so either they're masochists or im not that bad as
i think i am :)
anyway, most of this stuff bothers me, but i try not to
think about it too much...and im always thinking about how
im going to change one day, but at the momment im too lazy
and exausted to do anything about it...

but i do like aphex twin!!!
