Oh, Hikkoshi!
I started to look for a place to live by myself 3 months ago. Over 14 places I inspected and I finally chose one last week and will move in next weekend. Almost impossible to find a 100% perfect place so I put behind green and separated toilet/shower.
The room is so small for 74,000 yen per month but it's priceless because I finally be independent. No more other family member's junks overflowed rooms, moody sister,cigarette smell, get disturbed my sleep, get annoyed with my old parents stupid arguments, my sister's "WHERE IS MY SHIRT!!" screaming, etc.
Besides this is my first independence in Japan and my first living just by myself. I feel like my life moves slower than others and it seems like I'm early 20ies just moves out from parents. I got my driving license last year when I was 29 which is also quite late than normal. Those are never be pressure to me. I know there are certain timings to do something for me and I believe my choices. Although I've been struggling to convince myself to reset a life in Japan after living Australia. And just 1 year later from the returning from the southern hemisphere, I'm ready for moving out again emotionally and economically.
Making a plan for new room is always exciting. I'm going to IKEA, yeah we've finally got one!, next Sunday with my friend to get cheap desk and kitchen stuff. My mother found a letter contains a 10,000 yen bill when she was helping me for moving today and the bill was from my aunt when I got a full time job 6 years ago! Lucky sign?
