Moving out

[gwaevalarin]

I just came back from a friend's. She moved out from her parents' so we drove to IKEA today (Thiiiii! But I just got a candle. Nothing else. I'm so proud. ;)) and later to her new flat to bring some of her stuff there and put together some furniture.

Do I envy her? Hell, yeah!

You know, living with my parents really is fine cause we get along quite well. But I'd love to have my own flat, my own home, build up my own life. I'm not even sure if I'm capable of doing that but I'd love to try.
Thing is: I'm a student. I don't have a regular income so I just can't afford it. My parents did hint two or three times that if I wanted to move out they'd make it possible which is nice of them but I don't want that. I don't want them to pay part of my rent or something. When I move out I want to pay for it myself. That means I'll have to wait till I have a job. That'll be at least two or three more years. *sighs*

When driving to my friend's flat we also talked about moving away as in leaving Germany. Going to Ireland or maybe Southern England not just on hollidays but to actually live there still is a dream I have. We also talked about Canada but then decides that that's too far away at least for now.
I have no idea where I'll be in let's say five years. So much can happen till then. But a small house somewhere at the Irish coast is what I'd describe if someone asked me for my dream place to live.

Moving out always leaves a huge impact on your life. I have fond memories of the three months that I lived away from my mother. It made me understand a few things better...and it didn't bother me to move back in with her.

Still, I have similar thoughts you have...Asking myself where I'm gonna be in five years. Probably I'll be faaaaaaar away from Germany, either in Hongkong or in Tokyo, working there as a journalist. Well...that's what I dream of.

And right now it's not more than that...a dream. But one I'm working on to make it come true.

Ireland isn't more than a dream for me either. But that's what dreams are for: Working on making them come true, aren't they?

I guess I'm just longing for the faraway at the moment. I haven't been away from home in a long time. I hope going to England next week even if it is just for a few days will help a bit.

*hugs* Same here. The two days in November last year when I was in Kopenhagen just fueled my desire to leave Germany.

*laughs* Seems alot of us are visiting the british isles at the moment, ne? I'll be leavong for London at the end of July, flight is already booked. Okay, it's a working holiday as I'll be doing presswork once again...but we decided to fly over a few days early, especially because Sakura (my best friend) has never been to London before.

I'm sure it will help you.

Hach Schatz ... ersetze "Irish coast" mit "somewhere in South England" und du hast meinen Traum. Ein kleines Cottage mit einem Garten voll Blumen das wäre es *seufz* Fürs erste würde ich mich aber auch schon mit einer Rundreise zufrieden geben. Einfach mit einem Auto los fahren und was von England sehen.

*lol* Das hätte jetzt von mir stammen können. Ich fliege auch Ende Juli nach London.

Was echt? Wann? Wir fliegen am 28. Juli rüber und bleiben bis 03. August. Danach gondel ich noch durch Deutschland, klapper noch ein paar Konzerte ab. Das wird quasi ne Tour-Dokumentation...wird anstrengend aber ich freu mich drauf.

Dann ziehst du nach Südengland und ich nach Irland und dann können wir uns immer gegenseitig besuchen. *träum*

Das müssen wir wirklich unbedingt mal machen. Dann fliegen wir einfach für zwei Wochen oder so rüber, mieten uns ein Auto, fahren los und schauen, wo es uns gefällt. :)

I hope you'll have a great time in London. *hugs*
