I did make a list of reasons to be terrified on that one, but I wan to focus on more day to day things that everyone has no problem with but I know i'm going to mess up.
Bills
They never taught me how to adult. I've never paid any bills in my life. What do I do? Do I pay the guy upfront every month cash in hand? Do I go to the bank and ask the bankers what to do? What happens if I'm late with my rent?? Am I going to get kicked out for not paying them on time?
People
I know, I should get out there and be more social!
I do want to make friends, but I'm crap at judging people, I could tag along with a bunch of junkies and be like guys I don't think you should do this, and I'd keep hanging out with them cos it'd give me something to do.
My mum say's I can't
Can't use that excuse anymore can I? I'm not a fan of letting anyone I meet into my house and the fact that I'm going to be alone from now on means, I could get followed home easier, I'm probably more likely to get mugged, or wake up on the had floor with my bed and everything missing.
Food
I'm not looking forward to buying my own food. I can eat a LOT of food,and the fact that I'm going to buy my own food and then eat it all and I'll have to go buy some more is not an exciting thought.
Wifi
THERE'S NO WIFI IN THE FLAT, this is very upsetting to me,how am I supposed to blog? or keep up with my social media? or function in life?I think in this day and age everyone depends on a good wifi connection for something or another. I'm going to have to hang out at little cafés everyday all day. Sucking up the wifi.
On that very sad note, I'll leave some questions for you and say goodbye for now.
Just know that if I don't post in a while, I'm not dead, I just don't have wifi.
Are you still living with your parents?
What age were you when you moved out?
Do you know how to pay bills?
If you haven't moved out yet, are you looking forward to being independent or not?
Aww, don't worry, you'll get it all figured out as you go! Bills are kind of confusing, but these days most can be paid online, which is alot easier. I've never lived completely alone, I moved out of my grandparents' place and into my home with my husband when I was 19, and I definitely had the feeling of "I don't exactly know what I'm doing..." Now I'm 25 and it's gotten easier. I think my husband would never remember to pay the bills unless I reminded him each month, though!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be fine!
ReplyDeleteI moved out of my parents home and into my own home with my fiance when I was 23 and it was the best thing I ever did. I feel more independent now. We pay all our own bills.
Everything can be learned, so no worries>)Time will teach you..

Hey, really don't worry about it. I was afraid of stuff like this before I first moved out. But with time, you will learn to love the freedom and being responsible for yourself. Ask some older friends and I'm sure everybody will tell you the same thing. Being a grown-up and being independent is really a great feeling ;)
ReplyDeleteI started living alone when I was in Senior HS. It was hard at the beginning (actually for a few days) and I realized I can. I start earning and living in my own means, and I discovered that I am best living alone. Thanks for my Momma for forcing me to be independent :)
ReplyDeletei remember having the same fears when i left my childhood residence (id like to say mum and dads but sadly i cant) I was out of there off and on from age 13 the final time i was 16 and never regretted it. Oh i was scared, how would i manage bills, food housework and school....but I did it through trial and error. some things worked, some failed royally! It will be something you come to learn and manage in your own unique way....
ReplyDeleteAnd I bet in 12mths time you'll be saying to yourself "what was I so worried about" Promise ❤ best of luck hunni and I cant wait to hear about your progress
I moved out when I was 22. I think I would really be bothered by having no wifi. As for paying the bills: i do everything via automatical payment. Then I don't have to look at it :). It took a while getting used to it, but I really love the freedom!
ReplyDeleteAren't bills the worst thing,
ReplyDeleteIn the UK we are billed for the most silly things that we don't appear to get anything from.
Don't let ANYONE tell you you can't babe<3
Be positive & YOU CAN DO IT!
You will learn to love the freedom of living on your own! It is an adjustment, but there is something inspiring about being in charge of your own space! Lifting you up in prayer as you make this transition!

Time makes you learn every task required to survive on this earth. So just don't try to hard and leave everything on time.
ReplyDeleteI have exactly the same fears and struggles. I also blog about becoming independent and living on my own! You're in the same stage of your life as me, it seems :)
ReplyDeleteFirst things are always hard when moving out, but living alone and being independent is the best thing you can do to start an adult life. You will be fine!
ReplyDeletehaha. I laughed out loud reading this, Coral. Oh I did move out and now I am terrified when I have someone wanting to visit me or want to stay with me longer. hang on until you get there :)
ReplyDeleteI moved out when i was 26 but i was already away since i was 19 to work in a cruise so everything was pretty easy for me.
