Parents Are Worried About Me Moving Out and Living on My Own.?
Question by : Parents are worried about me moving out and living on my own.?
I’m getting ready to go to a 9-month program for music in NYC in January, I’m 21 years old and currently live with my parents about 45-50min away in Connecticut. I’ve struggled with drug addiction since I was 18 and as a result I dropped out of my first College and then failed out of another 1.5years later. I’ve been in treatment for over a year and I’m doing very good. I’m planning on doing a music production program in the city and am very excited to finally study/learn something I have a real passion for. I’m also planning on renting an apartment in the city so I don’t have to commute 6 times a week and also because I feel like it’s the next step in the evolution of my life to move out of my parents house and live on my own.
I don’t drink, do drugs, or go to parties any more. I feel like I have grown up a lot over the past year to the point where I think I’ve completely lost interest in that whole scene. I have goals for my future involving music and audio production whether its recording songs, live shows, or working for a video game company etc… It’s probably the first time in my life I actually feel like I know what I want to do. It’s always felt like I was on a conveyor belt just following the assembly line before.
My dad is starting to have second thoughts about me moving out for reasons I don’t blame him for. My past has been kind of rough and he is just worried about me living on my own in a big city. I tried to explain to him that this is something I think is good for me and something that I really want to do.
I just want to be able to be in my own zone where I can really concentrate on this program and access my full potential. I want to be in an environment (like the city) where my surroundings are relevant to what I’m studying. There is no better place in the world to be if you are an artist/musician than NYC.
Has anyone dealt with a situation similar to this? I feel bad and know that my parents are just worried about me but I also know that this is something I really need to do and want to do. I think it will give me the chance to finally break free from everything that held me back before and actually grow up and become a man. I’m not expecting this experience to be easy or fun or even comfortable. I’m looking forward to the idea of struggling but also growing from the experience.
Thankyou for reading this.
