21-year-old plans solo trip to Disney, controlling mom won't allow her to go by herself: 'I live with her and contribute to the house. I pay internet, streaming services and even rent'

Doing things alone is one of the best parts of being an adult. Heck, I wrote a whole article on this website about how I think it's the key to solving loneliness. Going out alone is great for an abundance of reasons. It gives you confidence in yourself and the fact that you can do anything. It opens you up to new kinds of experiences, places, and people. Plus, it gives you much-needed time for reflection which is sometimes hard to get if you're in the company of others. These reasons, and many more support my belief that if you have the chance to solo travel, you should do it. Not many people get to do it over their lifetimes, and many wish they could.

This doesn't mean you won't have some haters trying to slow your roll along the way, though. Some don't understand the desire to be alone, and others might worry for your safety. Sometimes you just have to do it anyway.

AITA for telling my mom I'm going on this trip whether she likes it or not?
