Moving out in a couple of hours

[Sneaklemming]

So I'm sitting in a bare apartment. I've packed everything up. It's 08:38am. I'm waiting until the sun comes up a bit more before I head to the atm to get money for the taxi that will take me to my new apartment. I leave at noon.

I've packed up everything as best I can. I never realised how few possessions I have. Maybe as I get older I collect more rubbish to put in a flat. I don't own chairs or desks, that all comes with the student flats around here. I have only clothes trinkets.

My room feels new. Like the first day I moved in.

Nothing makes you feel like you're starting something new like emptying out everything. Throwing away most things, and taking stock of what you have. Deciding what will follow you to your new place.

I love endings, because they are really just beginnings. That's why I'm sharing this, and I want to know have you ever felt like this when you were moving to a new place? What were those last few minutes in your old home like?

I know how you feel, I moved about 3 times the last two years.

It's a strange feeling. Excited about your new place, sad about the old.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I love that feeling. It feels like you can accomplish so much.

I get that feeling when I look at a new fresh Notebook or Microsoft Word page.

 

[S.R.S.]

Nauseating and echoeee. I found some long lost items the last time I moved like pokemon red and a key to something.

Well I would have enjoyed it more had I not cut my finger open the day I was moving out.

Besides that small niggle of an annoyance I had the same feelings as you.

When I was eleven.. Sad as hell. I didn't want to leave. I didn't understand why we had to. I still don't, really, but I'm glad we did. Most of the kids in that area turned out to be total fuckwits. I don't know what happened to them, we were all really calm kids, in a sleepy little village. Now a few of them are doing pyramid scams, one's a neo-nazi, one's got a drug problem, two are dead, list goes on..

When I moved out of my parents'.. I felt great. I had spent nine months in the army (mandatory), and coming back to mommy and daddy after that, was excruciating. I felt like I was mooching off them, felt like we were on eachothers way, so I moved as soon as I could find a place. I was 20 back then.

I wouldn't know. I've lived in this miserable excuse for a "neighbor"hood for 17 years.

You've got it all ahead of you.

I hate moving.

 

[Balaxe]

The people who moved in our old house trashed the place, the value went down and we bought it back cheap, fixed it up so now we two house. So the only houses i've ever lived in have never felt gone to me.

You've got it all ahead of you.

Yeah, it's gonna be that much sweeter when I finally do get the hell out of here.

Wish I was moving out right now. Gotta wait though, not quite ready to move out at the moment. Then my new beginning will start and I won't be looking back into the past anymore.

 

[Sneaklemming]

I spent ten minutes trying to find the coffee I packed away earlier! Hahaha!

 

[Aunel]

As a son of some important man, who also happens to be my dad, I have moved around a lot, and it has happened often enough that moving out, isn't really that exciting to me anymore.

oh well at least I have my bass.

[small]interesting fact: until my 12 or 13 birthday, my most used public transport was the airplane[/small]

 

[Sneaklemming]

Well I've just moved into the new flat, and I'm about finished unpacking.

I'd like to raise a glass to new beginnings!

Whenever I move, I always look at my empty room and think of the memories... I always get sad when I move. I mean, I love new houses and new beginnings, but I have so much memories from my old house that it's sort of sad that I'm walking away from all of them. I guess the good outweighs the bad, though, because I get to start over and there go all the bad memories.

 

[comadorcrack]

I've lived in this house for the past 15 years.
I'm moving out the moment I'm 18.

Why... I'm 18!

And now off I go to flaunt my power to leave that some do not!

Congratulations with your new shack, hope you enjoy it.

I really envy you, I've been longing to move out for a while now. I want to see places, meet people, be with the one I care about, and not be stuck on this wretched room.

I won't be sad when I leave, I will take the good memories with me, knowing that I can continue and expand upon them. I will leave all the bad memories locked up inside this room, hopefully to never return again. I cannot wait for that day to come.

The same--whenever I move into a place to stay while I'm in college--I feel happy.
