We as Filipinos are so tightly-knit that we do not part ways with our parents, even if we are married. This is something that I learned early on in my life, and that we, at one point in our lives, must learn to live independently. I may not be married, but this is something that I value the most, my independence. As early as 1 year after I graduated from college, I decided to move out of our family home, and live near the campus (where I teach and study for my Masters’). After graduation, I decided to move back because I felt that I’ve grown apart from my siblings due to the fact that I was seldom home (even on weekends) during that time. After a few years, I decided to move out again.
Why move out when I have all the comforts of being taken cared of by my parents and Yaya? I valued my independence more than my comfort.
If you are having doubts of moving out of your home, watch this video, and let me help you decide.
