I basically live alone as it is

I live at home with my dad but it isn’t like living at home with your parents.
I rarely see my dad as he goes out mostly before I get up in the morning, he comes in for up to an hour around 6pm and then he goes out until 10:30-1am so I never see him at all.
It does feel like I live alone at times, I don’t know if I could live alone because I feel safer knowing my dad is asleep across the hall way….i bet that is really stupid of me but when he goes away I am more worried at night time though the last few times he went away it didn’t really bother me at all.
I do everything for myself and I have done since i was about 12 so I am house trained and wouldn’t struggle if I moved out.
I hope it is sometime in the next 12 months that I can spread my wings and fend for myself and move out. I just feel like I have out grown my dad in some ways like I shouldn’t be living at home now. I know it is different for every person but I have gotten to the stage where I want to move out and live in another town or even county. I feel if I stay round here I will be tempted to come home again and I fancy a change of scene because I have lived in Blackburn for 12 years now and 3 years when i was younger.
I don’t know where I will go to be honest, I was going to apply for uni for next year but so much went on this year I didn’t think that it was the best idea for me to do so I will not be applying for uni.
But when I do move out I want to either share a house with someone or live with a BF, that is if I have one.
