Chapter Four: Enclosure!

Space, the final frontier! Also the one thing i am in most desperate need of. I am a 31 year old man who lives in a 12 by 12 by 8 and half foot box. This is something that will not due. Allow me to explain:

I Make no qualms about it, there is defiantly something pathetic about a thirty-one year old man living with his parents. No matter how i explain the reason for this to people it still doesn't add up to any respect. That fact of the matter is, it really is my own fault. I was the one who ran up the debt in an attempt to buy myself some happiness, so i have to take the medicine. The problem is the medicine sucks and it works very slowly. So now that i have admitted my failures, the question comes: Why do my parents insist on making things as unpleasant for me as possible?

When i first Moved back into my parents house i was relegated to the basement. Not a nice finished basement, but a very dark poorly ventilated cellar. It was dark and dingy but at least there was room. There was also an infestation of yellow jackets, that i learned of when i was stung on the neck in my sleep. I was understanding of this at first. There was no room at my house, and if i was going to come crawling home i really didn't think i deserved much better. But after my sister was married and moved out with my nephew there were now two rooms available. A large bedroom with two windows a celling fan, and plenty of SPACE, or the glorified closet i am in now. Well my parents who do nothing on the computer except crashing it, felt the deserved a computer room slash guest room. We never have guest either. So now i have a room i can't keep clean because i have a closet filled with boxes and all the furniture is way to big, but it was all second hand so it wasn't even meant for that room. The snake and fish tank was my own choice so i won't bitch about that, but i can't walk in my room to get over to the tank to feed them.

But if you have endured reading this i will explain why i bring it up: Along with the other things i am working for in my own personal restoration is space, my own space. I want a place where i can choose the paint for the walls. This will probably be one of the harder task to accomplish but it is also one of the most important. I have accomplished nothing toward this end but i will begin to reduce my personal property so that moving will be much easier, and i can maybe earn a little extra money. When i am ready to sell i will let you all know.
