My brother!!! Firstly, because of your bravery future generations will be blessed. I am proud of the walk you have chosen when there is much more involved than in Western Culture in general. Secondly, there are plenty of 26 to 36 year olds that still live with their parents in the US... Lastly, the premise of an 18 year old going out on their own was designed during the industrial age to keep the factories full of workers that they could pay less than skilled laborers... You are doing a million times more than most American 26 year old males... although you may not be where you want to be in your career, walk with Christ, and life....know this... you'll get there when you get there and not a moment before. Being 26 and having been a part of this community for a while now, you are about 14 years ahead of most of us when it comes to scrutinizing your thoughts... using your feelings as a way to perceive the moment... and reflecting on where you fall into the Grand Design of things... You just slayed a dragon by posting this! Stay encouraged brother.

You got this brother! You're glowing in His presence right now!
