I'm astounded how easy life feels right now. I thought the answer was a relationship. I'm only 18 and have had a relationship that lasted a year, but I feel like I lost myself in that relationship.

I've been out of a relationship for about 10 months now and wow it's good to find myself again. Really, I can do whatever I want without worry. I can go see all of my friends and go out to eat. I can drink and smoke (I don't smoke but at least I have the option). I can stay in for days working on a project if I wanted to. I can do anything.

This really is the best, free-est lifestyle you can choose.
