I'll keep it short: I was living with my parents through college and had 7 months of independence between moving to the big city where I met my girlfriend, and moving in with her. It's the happiest relationship of my life and she's my best friend, but I feel as if I've become more domesticated and have been missing out on that thrill of living alone/with roommates. Hell, we're even still independent, I just feel slightly tamed and it makes me wonder if I'm missing something. 

That said, I'm pretty much sure I'm in the wrong for feeling I need the space because my behaviors before were kind of reckless. Even at 23, drinking too much, partying too much, and sometimes driving home after. I was making bad choices and she's kept me level. I know I'm wrong for it, but I miss being an alcoholic, carefree crazy. No clue what to do. I shouldn't let myself slip back into that, but I see everyone else having fun and going out to bars and getting wild while I'm out to do the same once a month on average.

do I cautiously resume being a crazy youth and miss out on The One or continue to avoid these destructive behaviors? I know this sounds stupid, but do any other young people miss out on being...

My life is perfect until I stray from it.
