Hey everyone! I've been checking out this site for a week and I like what it's about, so I thought I'd be a part of it. I'm new to this, but I've always felt a part of it and I can't ignore that any longer. I only have one problem, letting go of my upbringing. I have been brought up in a house of consumerism, and though it makes me sad to it, my family members are sheep. And since I live with my family still, it makes it difficult for me to be myself, my family is quick to judge. I know that life will be different once I'm living on my own, but if anyone has any suggestions on changes I could make to stop being materialistic and live the life I want to live until then, I would really appreciate it! thank you!
hey, glad to have you here on HF. that's very unfortunate. my family was sort of that way but i they have always been used to the idea that i'm a "free thinker" haha, so my decisions don't really come as much of shock i really hope you are able to find a way about your situation. stop by hipchat sometime, you'll meet some awesome kids in there.
