[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a long period of my life where I still needed financial support from my parents when most people my age didn't(through no fault of my own). I've finally managed to become self-supporting after a lot of hard work, but it now it seems as if most of my peers have moved on from supporting themselves to supporting themselves and their parents. I really feel I deserve a grace-period where I'm on the same level as my peers, even if it's just temporary. I'd like to have at-least till my mid-thirties. But now it seems as though[b] I'm always going to be one step behind my peers[/b].[/quote]

Accept it and move on. It is what it is.[/quote]

Do you know how much loser aspects I've already accepted about myself? I didn't graduate college until I was 22, while most of my friends graduated at 21. That was pretty difficult to swallow and accept, but I eventually did. I wasn't able to support myself until I was 28, while most of my friends launched between the ages of 18 and 24. That was also quite difficult to digest, but that I did too. I'm putting my foot down here. We all have our limits.[/quote]
