C'mon, it's 2021! Here's Why It's Valid for You to Crave Space and Freedom as a Young Adult

Unlike countries like the United States or Canada, the Philippines’ tightly knit family culture discourages young adults to fly out of their nest and leave their parents’ homes. Not everyone gets it, especially your Filipino parents or grandparents, but sometimes, you need to have your own space and enjoy your freedom. 

And hey, we think it’s valid to crave your own space. For a lot of reasons, young adults are moving out of their childhood homes. Below are some of the reasons and why we think it’s valid: 

CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RELATIVES

Whether that’s an opinion on paying the bills or politics, we know it can get rough living with elders whose perspective is anything but progressive. When you’re so keen on improving your household with radical ideas or just simple rules to improve the household system, it can be challenging to implement these positive changes when the people you’re living with are against that. Of course, you love them, and you’ve tried to understand where they’re coming from, but sometimes it’s hard when the other end isn’t willing to understand.  

YOUR NEED FOR A BIGGER SPACE

Now that you’re an adult, you want to curate the space you want for yourself, especially since this pandemic, there’s a rise in the number of people who started investing in their homes. You want to have your own room now that you’re in your 20’s. You want to buy those beautiful cabinets you saw online. You want your own desk so you can have a designated area for work. But living in a home that’s way too small for you and your extended family, space can be an issue. At times, it can even be suffocating. You can’t make any decisions to improve your home because your mother doesn’t want you to. It’s frustrating. Take it as a sign to move out, enjoy what you’ve worked hard for, and breathe in all the available space. It’s time you get the chance to design your life, as well as your space. 

WANTING TO LIVE CLOSER TO WORK

You may also want to move closer to your work. A lot of companies are bidding the work-from-home set-up goodbye as they transition back to on-site work. Some even offer higher pay if they’ve chosen to work in the office. If you’re a little strapped for cash and you want to make ends meet for your family, this is a chance to improve your savings. And if you’re one of the people who found remote jobs during the pandemic, which have started to transition back in the office slowly, you’ll realize that finding a place accessible to transportation means isn’t such a bad idea. It’s your call to make. 

FIGURING OUT LIFE WITH YOUR PARTNER

For some who have had a partner for years, moving in together can be the reason for wanting to leave home. You want to focus on the next stage of your life with this person, without the help or opinion of anyone else. Getting your own space could help you realize more important matters in your relationship that no other people can decide for. 

And living according to your terms can help you figure life on your own. 

LIVE INDEPENDENTLY 

Maybe you want to depart from a place you’ve already outgrown and are looking for somewhere new where you can fully exercise your freedom. Elders would think it’s an outrageous thought, but they don’t understand that being far away from the familiar prompts you to grow on your own. It allows you to experience new things and discover wonders all by yourself. It’s not because you love your family any less; you’re just going to love yourself a little more with this decision. That’s always valid.

We’ve all been there. And sometimes, the best option is to listen to that voice and allow yourself to be free, especially if that is what you’ve wanted to do all along. There’s no shame in wanting to choose yourself this time. It’s one of the indicators that you’re growing into a fully-fledged adult.
