going out

so back in August during my 1st week of school i told my little brother that "I'm going out" usually to game night for the singles ward. i often said i'm going out to my brothers if i went somewhere so people knew i was going somewhere and not to panic. i shouldn't HAVE to say it as i'm in my 20's and should be able to whatever i want to do and go wherever i want to go within reason but i do it to ease my family's anxiety about me
