It's perfectly normal to morn the loss of your childhood. Everyone does in varying degrees as they transition from dependent to independent. When I moved out of my parents house & began to morn the loss of my childhood, it was a rough adjustment. I spent more of my paychecks on entertainment than I did on bills simply because I didn't fully understand the reality of real life. It took a couple of evictions, numerous phone & power shutoffs and the cut & running of 3 pissed off girlfriends before I finally started to realize that all my problems were no ones fault but mine.

That's how maturity began for me.

It was a series of epiphanies and moments of clarity. I eventually came to realize how big the world is & how small my thinking has been about it while I was growing up in a sheltered suburban bubble.

At least the good news for you is, later down the road as you gain more life experience & wisdom, you'll most likely look back at how you feel now & laugh about it.
