    Had to go back after 15 years out and about. My roommate at the time and still good friend unexpectedly started a family. I hold nothing against him and am glad they’re doing well. This was shortly after the pandemic wherein rent had suddenly tripled in my area. I’ve found myself stuck, but at least grateful that my family has been more than accommodating. But I’ll be damned if it isn’t trying.

      I had to move back after 10 years out. And actually it was fine for me.

      Things that helped:

      • It was only a few months
      • My parents are chill
      • I’m chill
      • I knew what path I was following to leave, at least approximately
