MOVING OUT

I am moving out soon and I am so excited! It will probably be around end of March so it ends up being in the school holidays where we will have two weeks off for Easter. 

People usually have their first experience of living away from home at uni where they go to a University that is far from home and move out to live with friends and have the student life. I went to a Uni in London as I didn't want to move out. At that time I thought that was the right thing for me to do... I mean I still think I chose the right option but I do wonder if I would be more independent if I moved out and not rely on my parents so much.

When I thought of moving out, I was like yes I want to live with Alex, and all that stood in my way was the financial aspect of moving out as it usually is... so now I am finally ready.  I have the funds (just about) and I just have to wait for the end of March and the perfect flat... BUT... there was one thing I didn't think of and that was the emotional side of it.

Oh how I didn't expect that at all.. don't get me wrong I want to move out and Alex waited until I was ready and I am probably more impatient at the whole situation compared to him but I just didn't think I would be too emotional over it.  The other week I was doing something and called my sisters to see what I had done... and after that I realised when I move out and I do something I won't be able my sisters to call and show. I will really miss that the most I think to have the freedom of seeing my sisters whenever I wanted and to do anything we wanted anytime. I will have to get used to always messaging my sisters or making sure we meet up and take time to catch up.

I know I will get used to it after a few months but I think initially I might be a tad homesick. Really though who knows how I will react until I actually move out and it happens.  All I know that is there is a lot of preparing and decisions to make and that some won't be easy. 

Right now I am trying to organise my room and chuck any unwanted bits and bobs I don't need/want. This is seeming to be a harder task that first imagined as I am a hoarder and I like to keep everything and anything. I cannot seem to throw anything away it all has some sort of meaning. I am trying to start of small and gradually get rid of bigger things but it is not working. All I have got rid of is the food magazines I have never used... I cut out the recipes I wanted... thrown away the rest!

I want to start packing soon because I have so much stuff but I don't know where to start... cardboard boxes are too expensive to buy so will need to find another option for this...good luck to me.
Pinterest is another app I keep going on to have house inspiration of how I can decorate it even though I won't be allowed to change much in the house in the decor section as we are only renting.. one day I can let my creativeness out aha.
