ok so like anyone else's parents lowkey still act like you're still a little kid even tho you're like 20 and living on your own sort of? my mom just like texts me every single day asking if i ate dinner like girl i'm an adult i can handle ramen. it's kinda sweet i guess but also like i miss them sometimes and feel bad for leaving them to come here but also i NEED to live my own life right? like am i the only one who feels that way?
