I've been feeling kind of depressed lately. I'm currently looking for a job. The jobs I've had in the past year were temporary and it's been difficult to find a full time gig. Also, I live in a house full of people so I don't get the privacy that I so need and used to having.
Last year I moved back to the US from Japan. I taught English in Tokyo for awhile and I enjoyed being there so much. However, I felt that I wasn't really great with teaching and I did miss my family so I chose not to renew my contract and move back. I moved in with my parents and figured I would be there 3 months tops. Well, it's been a year and I'm still living there and it looks like I'm still going to be there for awhile now. I'm not stupid, I know there's no possible way for me to be living on my own. My parents are kind though, and letting me stay there for free since I've had some trouble with my credit card and they want me to focus on paying that off and saving for a place of my own. I appreciate that greatly, but the frustrating part is my father tries to tell me how to live my life. I know he means well and he does it because he cares, but I'm not a teenager (I think that I may be one of the oldest memebers here). I'm a full grown woman capable fo making her own decisions.
Sometimes, I wish that I stayed in Japan where I had a career and making a decent amount of money.
