Leaving Things Behind
Well, it's time for a serious picture for once. I will be moving tomorrow. It's the first time in my life that I move to a different place. For 30 years now I have lived in one apartment with my family. Lately only with my mom as my brother had moved out many years ago and my father passed away in 2015.
And while moving in with Asyr and my mom moving into a nice place of her own is exciting, I can't help but feel a little sad. All the memories kept rushing over me two days ago, as we disassembled and removed most of the old furniture - with only the most basic ones like beds remaining. It was strange seeing so much stuff that I had grown used to over the years, just turn down and disposed of in a matter of a few hours.
On the other side, it was just "stuff". There was no point in keeping it as most of it was old or too heavy to transport. And I am looking forward to all the new experiences waiting for me. I don't regret making this decision at all. I just needed to find an outlet for all the emotions that kept welling up inside me. And so I wanted to pay tribute to the place where I grew up and lived for all these years
.
So here's Night taking one last look of the old apartment. I tried recreating the entrance as best as I could, for instance that actually used to be the carpet we had there. :3
I'll probably look back on this in a few years and barely remember what the apartment was like, but it will definitely help me not forget my home for all these years.
Finally, here's some mood music that I had playing while I was drawing this. It seemed fitting: Cat Stevens - Father & Son
I'll see you all in a few days, once I have settled into the new place. :3 Take care!

I know the feeling really well. I moved to Denmark (from Italy) in October of last year and my mother moved to a new place in Spring and I flew down to help her move. Weirdest feeling ever helping dismantle my old home after moving out. It was my home but also wasn't anymore.
That is a deep picture there, buddy.
It's hard to leave things behind, even trivial ones.
But there are always memories to take with you, nobody can take that away.
And I wish you only the best for moving together with Asyr.
Also, totally unrelated, I really hope we can meet each other next year at EF,after I had to cancel it on short notice this year.

The nostalgia and memories that come with living in a place really do strike the heart at times, and I can relate as I've had to move numerous times in the distant past. I'm worried about how I'll feel if I have to move from my current residence after being here for almost two decades. In any case, you take are too and have a successful move.
hope you have a wonderful time in your new place with Asyr.
and would like to say I know how it feels moving form one place to another but the memories you keep with you are for a life time but you get to also make new ones in a new part of life. like a journal where one part ends a new one starts.
(hope this made some sence and helped you out as well. always stay awesome and always just be your self.)

I have known only 3 things that are constant in life.
1,- God "or what you ever want to call him"
2,- Love, and it transcends for this surface of existence to the other.
3,- Friendship.
Wishing you Mr. Night & Asyr all the best in your new life together.
Here's a little something that may ease things.

Wish you the best of luck dear, i know the feeling of being in a place for so long and moving away to another, all the memories good and bad with family and friends wash over Your mind from the many years there..but with the new place you have plenty of opportunity to make many more new ones and with someone you deeply care about~
Always nice to toss j. A serious pic to show how you feel

Moving out and moving together with your love! The end of something and the beginning of something new but that's how life works. It's gonna be hurt at for some day's but if you get used your new life with your love this feeling will be fading. And at least you still can call up your mother if you want to talk with her ^^
Good luck Night, I hope your mum will be ok too and personally, this reminds me of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT86AoSGEL8
This post hit me right in the feels. When I first moved out from my parents' house, I too was moving out at the same time they were moving to a new place. All the family helped with clearing out the old place--the house that had been our home since I was old enough to walk. The moment was bittersweet. I felt it was the right decision then and I only grew more certain of that over the years. My life changed and I evolved in ways that I never could have guessed at the time. But none of that confidence could stop me from crying as we gave the house a final walk through and surrendered the keys.
Change is always this way, isn't it? So important, so good, but it also requires letting some things go. Even if it's just stuff, they hold memories. <squeezes> Thanks for sharing. So happy for you, Tiger!

Thanks for sharing your own experiences. It's weird to assess my own feelings when it comes to the whole deal. The stress, the sadness, the hopefulness, everything bundled up together makes for one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. But moving forward is the right idea. I can already feel myself settling in, even though it's still gonna take me a while.
