for me, it doesn't make me sad at all. I love the fact that i can support myself, and (for a while) i supported my ex too (when she was my gf). That made my life happy. Being dependant on others isn't something i like. The only thing i dislike is not being able to fix mistakes, but at the same time, i know that by making them, i've learned better. I'd only change them if i could keep the lessons learned from them
