I can no longer afford to live like this.
I love my friends and family, but i can't afford to stay here in my father's house at the risk of damaging his life.
I can't keep taking his money for my education, I can't be a burden anymore, a leech, a parasite.
So I'll leave.
I'll have to work ten times as hard, sleep is now a luxury. As dramatic as I'm being right now, i must be equally stoic in my quest. It hurts too much to hurt my father for me to stay.
It's alright because I knew this day was coming soon, from the moment I told my mother that I felt uneasy about staying at home 8 months ago.
I don't know if I'll still be able to go to school.
I don't know how much of me it will take to become truly independent.
But staying here is no good.
I say now dear brother I'm so sorry to leave you, all of you, beacause I'll never be able to say it aloud.
neurosies,
