Well I've lived on my own since I turned 19 and therefore was 'forced' to have a fulltime job. But I wouldn't completely complain bout my current life. It's pretty good, plus I'm well more balanced than I was before. Lots of thinking and soul seeking got me here
Actually I just made one of the biggest (if not _the_ biggest) decision in my life to make a u-turn, so I'm pretty satisfied with myself for now. Few years ago I wouldn't have been so confident and determined. Life can get pretty good if you learn about your mistakes (or the lack of...) and decide to do something with it.
