So I was browsing tumblr and I saw a girl post this...


    over 25?
    no degree, living at home with mommy, and being in your room 24.7...
    NOT OK.
    get a fucking life.


It kind of bothered me and I never let internet stuff get to me. This wasnt directed at me at all but I felt like it was directed at people like me.

over 25? [Im only 24 but still pretty close]

no degree [Im two classes shy of an associates. Ive been in college since 2005. Life does not always go as planned]

living at home with mommy [Of course I live at home. By no means can I afford to live on my own. Me and my mom live in an apartment and both work full time. We make ends meet. I WISH I could move out. This isnt a choice. However, since she continues to tolerate me, she helps me take care of my son. Not moving out isnt the worst thing on the planet.]

being in your room 24.7 [Well whenever Im not at work, or at school, or taking care of my son. Yes, I like to spend the little time I have thats free, NOT spending money, watching tv and just relaxing. Thank you]

NOT OK. [How is this not okay? I dont understand. Everyone I know at my age unless they have a boyfriend/girlfriend to live with and pulls money together, live at home. Its not easy to just up and move out. Decent jobs are hard to find. Full time at a retailer isnt going to pay the bills and it would just be irresponsible to move out and leave yourself broke.]

get a fucking life. [This. I will give to you. I would like to get a life but I dont seem to have the time for one right now. Ive even close to having a real job soon that pays decent money. I will have less of a life when that happens then I do now. Ill have more money, but no time.]

Yeah fuck people like that.
Although I say things online that might be offensive to some but I really only mean it to one person.

Aka, this guy was being a huge doucher and following me around town and being odd.
I told him to "Fuck off, get a job, and stop going to punk rock shows hitting on all the little girls"

My boyfriend than pointed out that he is jobless(but in school) and he is dating someone who is 21 when he is 31.



Be confident and okay in what you're doing if its working for you and its what you want kiss
arien:
And I think part of that rant might have been directly made for the people under that condition that will not leave their room to try to find a job or move to the next step of their life. The people who "give up" and play video games literally all the time. I don't think that has anything to do with the people who are trying, even if they get discouraged and backtrack sometimes.
