I'm finding my way...
Independence. It can be something we long for. Something that scares us. A new or ongoing challenge. Whether you've moved out or moved away to work or study, getting your first after school job or even just saving up your money for something you really want or learning to budget then this discussion is for you.
There's lots of ways to be independent and also different reasons for it. For some it's something to work for, for others circumstances might make it a necessity. This independence can give you a sense of control, let you enhance your skills and learn to set goals. But with independence can also come a certain amount of responsibility and that can be tough to get used to. It could also impact upon your sense of self in a positive or negative way or even make you doubt yourself at times.
Join us on Monday 24th June at 8pm AEST when we'll be discussing being independent and the benefits and also difficult things that can come with it.

Do you consider yourself independent? Why or why not?
In some ways I do and others I don't. I like to think I'm independent in that I've moved out of home and try to pay for everything myself but I still rely on social time to stay connected. I think it's really important to remember that just because you have a job or live alone doesn't mean you don't sometimes need a friend or family member to shout you a coffee or to spend time with others. 🙂
