The penultimate

0 Comments
So, this is the penultimate night I will spend in the family home. I honestly never thought down until this day. All the planning and packing and saying goodbye and last minute appointments and buying is nearly over. I always knew that this day would come, but I guess I never realised how I would feel or how my family would feel. I thought I would just go to university and that would be that. As if I would magically pack and teleport to halls. I didn't ever think that I would be feeling so many feelings!!

Now don't get me wrong I am super excited and really am ready to leave home as a fully fledged adult (sort of) but...
I am also kinda nostalgic? I was going to say sad but that's not the right word. I don't feel down or regretful I just feel as if a chapter of my life is coming to an end as a new one is opening. I guess this is the part where I acknowledge that my childhood has ended and my adult life is beginning. Also, this may sound a tad dramatic but I'm the last of my siblings to move out; I'm the youngest and after being ill this is big.
I have shared this room with all of my siblings first with my brother and sister and then both the sisters. Then just one sister and now just me. It has gone from being super packed with a bunk-bed, three wardrobes and teenage angst to being bare, with empty drawers and packed bags. I have slammed my bedroom door more times than I can remember and looked out the window on countless evenings to watch the gorgeous fen sunsets. I guess I'm going to miss this place when I'm in a big city and miss being a resident here.
Goodbye old friend
Take care
