You don't realize how hard it is to live on your own. But there's no mom to do your laundry, and make you dinner and to do things for you, and you don't think about little things like buying paper towels and salt.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You know, one of my fears about living alone so long is that you get used to doing everything your own way.
Nothing's ever easy as long as you go on living.
I don't even know how it is to have a home. I feel like an orphan or something.
Being a mom is hard, but I don't want people to feel like they always have to go straight to the TV dinner or go to the fast food because you have a busy, hectic life.
Why would I want a place of my own? Then I would have to things worry about, like doing laundry and having food in the fridge.
I don't like to change things too much. I think pretty hard about things before I jump in, and once I do, I feel, 'All right, I don't want to waste the energy of buying, selling this, going on Consumer Reports, test driving, buying, selling a house.' I feel life is to be lived.
I've lived very well all my life, even when I had no money, and there's very little I can't afford.
I'm barely at home enough to enjoy the simple lifestyle that I want to live.
I live by myself. I come in the door, I can throw my stuff on the floor. I can leave the dishes.
It's unfathomable how you live without your mother.
