damn son, am i talking to myself?

so i went for most of the summer jobless (banking on grad school coming) and have worked an okay job for the past month or so to save up some dosh to move out. i don't know that it's embarrassing, but i 100% feel like i'm back in high school. the dynamic is almost identical to then (which is to lessen my current status and to say i had a good high school life, parents-wise). theoretically, and according to my parents, i'm an adult and can do whatever i want, but i still feel like i have to explain myself whenever i leave the house. i can't comment on your situation, but i feel like "back in high school" is a pretty good general descriptor? i do drink with my old man now, which has been both good and strange.

i'm not the man to ask about romantic situation though haha. i'm in a shit-hole midwest city, so meeting people is difficult enough as is, and i've been in 1.5 healthy relationships in my life. i feel like i could bring someone home, but i definitely wouldn't, ya feel?
