Growing up is scary.
Taxes. Bills. Mortgages. Responsibility. If you shuddered at any of those words, then welcome to the club. The idea of growing up and adulting in general is terrifying but an inevitable process for most of us. If you're part of the lucky few with trust funds up to your eyeballs and properties all ready for you to move in to, I envy you. Most of us struggle to afford a monthly rent and without a decent deposit, you may as well kiss goodbye to the idea of a mortgage. The reality is that you need a decent deposit to put down, at least two participants and a decent income. And that's just step one of growing up. I'm currently in the process of attempting to save for a house with my boyfriend, Mike, even though I am annoyingly distracted by good packaging and things I really don't need but in the moment, insist I do. But I guess the most important thing in the process of leaving home is to find someone you want to live with, whether that be a friend, family member or partner. I can honestly say that I've found the person I want to spend the rest of my life with and so the idea of leaving home becomes slightly less daunting and a little more exciting. Growing up is scary, but independence is something to embrace. But then I suppose I'll always have that little Peter Pan sitting on my shoulder, reminding me to never grow up. I guess I'll always be a big kid at heart.
