Guess what? Remember my post from last time of my wish to experience living alone? Since I cannot do that in real life, I made an avatar in the Sims 3 where I live alone in a nice beach house. I enjoyed it a lot.

Well living alone should be after college when you start working. But now I have a family, almost forty and my job is not location flexible.

Awesome! I want to live alone too so that I can do a thing that I didn't do when I'm living with my parents, like making YouTube videos or live streaming!

@tech40 I realized staying with parents puts us in a comfort zone in a good way but it stunts our growth as adults.

I haven't played sims for a long time, especially now that there are online multiplayer sims.

Yes it is. In the meantime,we make do with what we have. We may even realize that isn't what we want after all. The Sim also get lonely or low on social. It can be solved by chatting online or asking friends over.

Wow. I also wanted to have my own space where I can cook my own food, spacing myself out and just be with myself. Unlike here, I have my Mother who really gives me a hard time. I think I can download it.

Yes you get my thoughts exactly. However just like in real life, Sims simulated bills payment and robbers lol.

I am not a game person. I am happy that you are able to live your real life dream in a virtual game. Enjoy it.

Yes, it is important sometimes even if at the time it is something we cannot have, to imagine it and maybe find ways to experience it even if not in our now.

I try to make inner and outer life as pleasant as possible. Yes using imagination is very effective for inner pleasantness.

Why you can't move out and live independently? I want to do it as well but I don't have money for it, I rather give the money to my mom than paying it for house rent. Hehehehe.
