Moving Out!

Hello everyone!!

Moving out of home is something everybody must do eventually. Whether you're 17 or 46 there will come a time to fly the coop. For me that time is now. Two days ago my parents and I left the small country town of Mackay and ventured into the big bad city of Brisbane. The idea of living off my own devices is almost surreal and kind of terrifying seeing as I am sitting here my roommate is about to burn the place down and I'm choking on the smoke of burnt toast. However I must say that as scary  as it may seem that fear is cancelled out by the utter excitement of being able to do your own thing. Over the weekend I've been shopping for supplies and whilst it might appear to be boring as bat shit, going grocery shopping for your own food is actually loads of fun. I have loved setting up my room and my space and getting together with my roommates to brainstorm how we can brighten up out kitchen and living area. The possibilities are endless when it comes to this sort of thing and I'll be posting an endless supply of photos when I've finished setting up.

For anybody out there contemplating moving away from home I suggest that you do. I know that change comes with a paralysing fear of the unfamiliar for some but it really is worth the risk, sometimes to succeed you have to jump and that's what I've done this year. Sure there were a few tears shed this morning when my Mom and Dad began their journey back to Mackay but I am enjoying my new home so much and am finding the thought of making my own house rules unfathomable.

To all those who are moving out this year I wish you the best of luck as I know it can be terribly difficult but the freedom at the end of the line and the change that just leaves you dizzy is absolutely fantastic, my hearts are with you for the big move!

Until next time! xx
