Why Going Home is Better When You're An Adult

Free love and laundry is all I could ever ask for.

Why Going Home is Better When You're An Adult
boards1.melodysoft.com

You decided it would be a brillant move to move out of your childhood home when you were 18 because you were "an adult ready to take on the world"

Then you get out there and quickly recognize that you've made a grave mistake. Being an adult/huma ain't easy.



So you count down the days till you get to go home.

When that glorious day finally rolls around, you get off the plane and run in to your family's arms like you haven't actually been falling apart the last few months.

You enjoy all the amenities. The endless supply of free food, free laundry usage, people that love you no matter how weird you really are. (Like really weird.)

And then your parents/family spoil you and take you shopping, out to eat and to get your nails done.

But then you see your friends posting pictures of stuff going on back in your town and you get serious FOMO.

So you enjoy your last few days at home but then start packing your bag, excited to go back.

The time has come and leaving comes with a bittersweet feeling. You tell your family you love them and then head off.

Then you get back and you miss your family all over again. The cycle never stops but that's okay cause this is life and you got this.

Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
