If you're anything like me home is where your heart is. After being away for almost a year I am finally back into the place I called home for so many years. As much as I wish I was already set in a career making loads of money and able to have a place of my own I'm glad to be able to have such a loving place to fall back into. Moving back home may have its up and down but it's always going to be a safe place.
1. You begin to save money
Here's the great news, your mom still goes grocery shopping and still loves when you tag along and guess what else. She still won't notice when you sneak toothpaste or candy bags into the shopping cart.
2. Your laundry magically gets done
If your mom is anything like mine she has a lot of free time, and if she's really anything like mine she can't stand to see the laundry climb the walls of your bathroom. So, she takes is on herself. Thanks mom
3. The food is cooked
Living away from home typically means you have to find your own way of meals. This means cooking which I am not good at other than the typical box of mac & cheese and PB&J. Coming home means home cooked meals with actually food groups.
4. You feel more comfortable than ever before
Having roommates and living with people other than your parents is great. You may even get close enough with the people in your house to no longer care about appearance but there is always some part of you that is conscience of it. Home means pants are optional and you can roll out of bed and down to the fridge looking however scary way you woke up.
5. You may realize why you moved away in the first place
Freedom is different from the freedom you have living at home. While you were away your mom probably found her own freedom a lot nicer while you were away and she also probably has a new way of tidying the house which she expects you to do 4 times a week. P.s mom, this was not missed
6. Reminiscing is real
Being back in your bedroom is comforting and happy, the mess you left in the closet is not. You will find yourself one night sitting within the mess on the closet floor looking through old photos and birthday cards, calling people you haven't seen in a while and finding out they're doing this same thing last time you checked.
7. You now live with the handy man
Living away from you parents means that when something breaks, or even something as simple as a light bulb burning out means that you have to fix it yourself. Now that you're home and have a dad that is a professional handy man is a lot more comforting
8. Being sick becomes okay
Being sick sucks, being sick without your mom sucks a lot more let's be honest. Being catered to with love and warm tea makes being sick possibly a tad enjoyable.
9. Me time is all the time
You learn a lot about yourself most when your able to be alone with yourself
10. You remember what you loved about being home
Home is truly where the heart is and mine has always been at home.
