I used to live with my
parents. I think most of us did that once. It was awesome and secure and cost
me bupkis. Then I decided I wanted to be parent-free so I found my own pad. That
transition was brutal. I had to figure out how to earn money and feed myself
and speak different languages (my family spoke fluent Karen Carpenter, disco,
and K-mart which doesn’t translate sometimes in real life). The
biggest shock of my move was the cut I took to living space. Moving from
larger quarters to one step up from a box requires even the least creative among
us to pick up some tricks. Whether you’re in a humble this-half-of-the-room-is-mine
or in a spacious 600 square footer there are things you can do to find harmony
in your wigwam.
