• Writing this seems like something from an angsty teen movie, but I find it hard to articulate my thoughts and feelings verbally, so hopefully I can make myself clear through this note. Maybe, on Saturday night I wasn’t clear. Jess put the ad up about needing a roommate about a month ago, I’ve been thinking of it ever since I saw it. However, the idea of moving out has been on my mind for a few years, since Year 9 probably, to be exact. I’ve just never had the funds, or a feasible opportunity until now. Today, I have both. This is something I want to do, that I am going to do. I’d prefer if you, both of you, were accepting of the decision that I’ve made. If not, I am planning to move anyway. I’m now legally old enough to make my own decisions even if you do not see me being an adult on your terms. I know that moving will change things, I know that I will be responsible for everything myself, but that is a step and a challenge that I am prepared to take. I’m not doing this on a whim; there are significant reasons why I am doing this. These include, that I will be closer to both uni and work. While, I know my current job is less than ideal, it’s likely that any future employment I have will be in the city, or at least close to uni. Also, this is something Ross and I have discussed at length, and we both feel it may improve the family dynamics. Greater independence is important to me as well. Another factor that I have considered, is the financial cost that I have while being under your roof, this may not be significant to you. But I do know that the physical and monetary cost of driving me to work isn’t fitting in with the amount of money, and time spare. I can support myself now, and it seems reasonable that I remove myself as a financial burden to ease the strain on you. So, the purpose of this letter is to tell you that I have carefully considered this, and that I will be, moving out and living in Unley in the future. I plan to do this as as soon as possible, because it is uni holidays, and I have some time off from work in the next two weeks.
