Something big is happening at the end of this month...
It was decided about a month ago, that my Mum and Brother are moving to Australia!!!!
It's a scary thought for me, knowing that I won't have my Mum around to help me and tell me what to do, but the sliver lining is that I have more independence. Even though I'm 21, Mum has always kept a close eye on me - still doing those 'Where are you going?', 'Who are you going with ?', 'What time are you going to be home?', keeping me accountable I guess - plus still living at home, she still dictated a lot of my life. Not in a controlling way, just in the 'I'm the Mum, I'm the boss' way.
Mum asked me if I wanted to travel across the ditch with them, but honestly, I don't find that there is anything over there for me. Sure, the cost of living isn't high as NZ, but I would be leaving my friends, family, church and Drew. Sure you can meet new people and make new friends - but I've known a lot of these people for 5+ years - and they are the glue to who I am. Leaving them is not something I'm willing to do easily!
So what that means for me here, I've had to find a new home and a permanent job (currently I'm contracted). I'm fine on the home front - even though for timing I have to move twice - but I can't wait! The plan is to move to where I am currently for about a month or so, until I move with some good friends from church. What I'm looking forward to the most, is having more creativity with my space and letting my style free of the confines of my bedroom. Me and Mum's styling is quite polar opposites! She's the more simple, clean, refined - where I like… mixing modern and vintage, showcasing what I have in an organized clutter? Is that even a way to describe something? Ain't that an oxymoron!
If you have any style advice for my new room, or any words of encourage for when my family's left me behind… leave me a comment below, I'd greatly appreciate it!
