Sup niketalk, bored at work and pondering about an issue im going through maybe you guys can give me some advice.
I'm 19, turning 20 this December and due to a family emergency ( My uncle was diagnosed with ALS , bka Lou Gehrig's disease and has less than a year tolive ) My parents decided they have to uproot and move from Queens, NYC to Boulder, Colorado to take care of him. I'm planning to go to F.I.T in spring andmy entire life is here. My boyfriend of almost three years is here, my friends, everything. I have lived here since I was 6 months old.
My parents gave me the option of staying in our apartment and they said they will take care of all expenses until I can do so on my own or I can movewith them to Colorado. I honestly do not want to go to Colorado. I don't know if this sounds selfish or not but I have plans for myself here. But on theother hand.. I don't want to live alone. I just get paranoid thinking about always coming home to an empty house. I'm not willing to find a roommate,because I think living with a stranger is even worse. The upside? Rent is under 800 for a two bedroom apartment in Astoria because of rent stabilization so itwould be maintainable for me in the future, unlike anywhere else in this state.
What do you guys think?
