”Bryan clean up your dishes”, I say in a joking but frustrated voice. This is a typical line in my house. Living with 4 guys can be fun but also stressful and annoying. I have discovered that searching for dinner in a moldy and dank refrigerator is like tredging through a mid evil dungeon.
Every other night another roommate brings over a new friend to show the house. I have to be on my best behavior, cause if I am not I appear to be the house jerk. After putting on an academy award winning acting performance I lock myself in my room, in recent months it has been my prison with out bars. When in my prison cell I can be my own person again, I am more free in my cell then in my “free” home.
Bills, from rent and electricity to cable and internet. I am responsible for all of it. Working a weekly paying job that usually does not pay well causes stress and concern that even the greek gods would condemn. I truly enjoy being self sufficient and supporting myself with no help. It is part of the process of growing up and maturing. I know that one day I will be making double or triple what I am now, it is satisfying to know that I will be able to support a wife and kids.
My house has made me a responsible adult. I hope I continue to grow and mature. One day my experiences here will help me down the road. I am in a good place right now and I hope to continue to make it better.
