I moved back with my parents at 30 after ending a long term relationship and then losing my job a week later. I’m about to turn 33 and just bought my own home, by myself. Moving home, whilst hard - especially the 2 hour commute each way to work, was the best decision I ever made. I am so grateful I had a safe, secure space to call home which gave me the opportunity to turn my life around. I wouldn’t have been able to do that without them.

i'm so so happy to hear you were able to turn your life around...what an inspiration. and yes, i wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn more about myself while dealing with so many life changes either, if not for my parents being in my corner. so much gratitude to them...

This is why you should not get into relationships too quickly without being on your own first!!
@lesliellama77794 ай бұрын
@@ArtIsDrawing agree. But it’s not just young people that get caught up. I was 26 when I entered that relationship. We moved in together when I was 27, and I had experiences in both having housemates and living alone for years before that. Sometimes relationships just don’t work out. It was bad luck I got made redundant so soon after ending the relationship, but it also gave me a handy excuse to be the one to move out of our rental property. I would not have been able to buy a house if I was still paying rent, especially when I live in one of the top 10 least affordable major cities in the world.

Congrats, but sounds like you had a lot of savings or somebody gave you a lot of money. Otherwise there's no way you could have afforded a house in that amount of time, especially considering what happened to the housing market in those specific years.

I know SO WELL how you feel. 2020 I was visiting my family in the Netherlands, from Edinburgh Scotland- where I was living at the time. Ofc covid happened. So I couldn't go back. It felt like a mourning period. Then, as things started opening up again, I had just started a new job in NL, I got very sick. Caused me to have to move back in with my parents at 27. Now, I just turned 30 last week and I'm still here. Still sick, still feels like life stands still. Sometimes life just doesn't happen as we think it would. And seeing friends settling down can make you feel quite lonely. But you're definitely not alone! And I'm very thankful for you sharing your story so I feel less alone too. Thanks Evelyn🤍✨️🍀

@@emilykromalic7149 Emily, your words touched me so much. Making friends and forming a community at a new (old) place, at your hometown where you feel like a stranger - that speaks to me a lot. It also sounds very calming in a way. That’s what still ahead of me - moving to my hometown to live closer to my family after traveling the world and trying to settle down in Scotland. Going back is my conscious decision, however I still have a mountain of doubts and uncertainty. We don’t choose a family but I realized it’s a treasure to stay close to people connected to me so deeply, watch them growing, enjoying simple moments together, being there when they need me, get known my roots. Do I miss something else not moving abroad? What supports me a lot is the idea to stay myself whenever I am, not to think of myself as a failure. Starting with a blank page is hard, working with what you already have (which most of people do) isn’t easier, creating a live you want to live is hard no matter where you start from, so any experience makes us stronger and gets us closer to our true self if we practice acceptance and appreciation of beauty. That’s what I see this vlog is about 🤍

Started therapy as well, while doing lot of things, university, youtube, coaching, content creation and what not,, and still my revenue is not consistent... depending on my family also feels like a burden...

I’m 33 and in a similar position! After the pandemic I knew I didn’t want to be doing what I was doing so I quit and started taking admin and caregiving jobs just to tread water. Then in October I couldn’t take my toxic boss anymore and quit without a plan. I spent a month soul searching and being depressed (maybe still am). I moved back with my parents in December and have been blowing through my savings because there isn’t much demand for temporary admin assistants. I picked a new tentative career path but the training program doesn’t start until May. I feel like my life has been on hold for these last 6 months as I DoorDash while I wait to start the training program. I have been struggling with not getting enough alone time and worrying that I have chosen the wrong path again. So it’s reassuring to know that I am not alone and that while it currently feels like I am not making progress, sometimes you have to step backwards to go forward. 😊

I live in Singapore, and due to the cost of housing its normal and practical for people to live with their family/parents right up to their 30s.

Hello Evelyn, I wanted to tell you I love your videos, totally relate to them, and hope you stay strong! I think lots of people don't have life figured out either and have their own struggles, but we only see a curated version of life and create expectations based on that. I am also from an Asian family, work a fast paced job and struggle with tying my identity to academic and now career success. I also relate to your struggles about uncertainty and geography, as my partner works overseas (in his second country in three years), and while I am fortunate to be able to visit him frequently and work remotely during these visits, I also struggle with the open endedness that the LDR has no end in sight, whereas permanent relocation would mean giving up my career / identity / family. The constant travel also takes a toll because sometimes routine and familiarity and just having /friends/ and a community is something I never realised was so important. I watch your videos while I take my lunch breaks alone as I work from his apartment in a foreign country, and it makes me feel like there's someone there with me. I hate commenting on videos because I'm always scared that someone I know will see these things, but I wanted you to know if you read this that you're not alone, and that your videos have improved someone's life in some way. I have decided for now to take life one month / year at a time, and take it as a big adventure, even though it's easier said than done!

I maybe really know what you feeling ,even though it's not have really same feeling.Your words carry such power: 'As we grow older, returning to our parents' home seems to become a shameful act.' I feel like I see countless versions of myself in that. I enjoy listening to you speak; it really gets my gears turning. Here's to us all living life freely and unapologetically!

I relate all of your concerns. I've lived abroad and had to move back home with my parents a few times. It was hard, but I also finally made steps to hopefully be able to be a long-term step forward... one day, maybe! I'm fairly new to your channel, but I really like your videos, keep it up - and good luck on your new adventure!

I couldn't help clicking the like btn and leaving a comment on this glorious video(Even though I'm not good at English, sorry if there are any mistakes in my comment). It's not enough to say thank you because it gave me a true comfort and cheered me up. Thank you so much for telling me 'I'm where I need to be in my life'. Now I'm not that anxious anymore because I'm heading to a step forward. This kind words made my day and it's going to make my life.

I resonated so much with your chat about anxiety and KZbin 🥲 I also finally gave myself permission to pursue content full time last year and even though prepared myself (logically) for the struggles, I still regularly question my decisions whenever my channel isn’t growing as quickly as I’d like. ANXIETY all the time lmao. PS. I think I remember you mentioning ADHD in a past video-chronic anxiety surrounding decision making is a classic symptom! Just FYI

moving back to your parents is so hard. my sister also moved back in with my mom and it's been hard for her because my mom started treating her like a child again while she already had her own life and way of doing things. i hope you find lots of friends in berlin😌 i'm sure you can connect with other youtubers and your viewers there

I told my daughter, who is 6 years old (LOL), that she can always move back whenever she needs to. I am sure your parents love having you around.

Am nearly middle aged and still living with my parents. No shame as long as you or they aren't sick of you lol. Just ensure you help around the house and help pay bills. Once you have your life together again and feel the confidence and are ready, you can always try moving out again some other time. Life is a toughie.

There's nothing wrong moving back in your parents' place. The situations vary. For example, with cost of living becoming too expensive to the point that even having a career job is not making enough, moving back home to your parents can help you financially and even mentally. It's a blessing in disguise -- you not only have saved more money, but you also get to spend some time with your parents while they're still here. You also can help around the house as they get older. And if you even have your own family, your parents can even spend some time with the children.

Hi! Last year I finished my studies and decided to move back with my family because I want to change careers.. Sometimes it feels like a step back BUT it’s been great to have this family time and also some healing! Right now I feel a little bit in a limbo so I’m ready to move on and work on my future, so I’m planning to leave again. It’s definitely challenging to be back but NO DECISION IS FOREVER! If you want, leave your hometown and you’ll be fine 😊

Combined my start-over in life, together with re-bonding with my 72 year old dad, when I was 45. We had a golden time, and I got the chance to rebalance my life. Your personal journey is everything but linear, some steps dosen´t make sense until much later.

I moved back at 28 after escaping my abusive baby daddy. And I wasn't exactly on good terms with my folks at the time. Over time, I paid off all my debts, set up a nest egg, and my kid gets to grow up with his grandparents. Something I never had in my life. We also repaired our relationship. I realized you only have two parents (or one!) in this lifetime and I'd be damned if they are not in my life. I'm lucky we love each other enough to want to be a family. I understand some people don't have that chance and that's ok too! You do what you need to do for peace of mind!
