Drunk

“Love, with very young people, is a heartless business. We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk; it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the individuality of our wine.”— Isak Dinesen

Try Aromatherapy


Essential oils like lavender, peppermint, rose, and eucalyptus are soothing and relaxing. 

To make a simple scent diffuser, put a few pieces of rock salt in a small container and add a few drops of an essential oil. 

Anytime you feel stressed, open the container and breathe in the relaxing scent.

You could also get an aromatherapy oil diffuser to create a soothing scented atmosphere in the room. 

Some caregivers have said that using these types of room diffusers are a great way for both them and their older adult to feel more relaxed.

Renter

Dear Amy: I’m in my early 20s and living at home. I’m paying my parents rent, but the money I pay doesn’t include anything else – just the room.

This doesn’t seem fair to me, and I’d really appreciate hearing what you think of this.

– Renter at Home

Dear Renter: You’ve just described … rent. When you rent, you pay the owner of the dwelling for the roof over your head. That’s all.

Once you accept this reality, you should do some research to see if you are able to afford rent and living expenses elsewhere. You may find that – even without the extras – you are benefiting from the lower cost of living at home.

Many young people use this transition period at home as a way to aggressively save money toward the higher cost of living elsewhere.
