moving out of home

my room was clean. 
but then i had to decide what to wear. 

i came across this saying tonight and it reminded me oh so fondly of my time living with beth. she sent it to me not long after moving in together. we've proved this saying to be true on more than one occasion! sadly, and quite abruptly, that time is almost up. i decided a little while ago that i wanted to move closer to town and while naomi and i have spent the last couple of weekends looking and applying, i still didn't think the big move would be upon me so quick! i'm so lucky to have spent the last year living with beth and i am going to miss her (and our wardrobe sharing) dearly. thank you for taking me on your journey of living out of home for the first time beth, for sharing your freshly painted and cutely decorated abode, for all the times you made me laugh, for the times you were there for me when i cried, for every item of clothing, jewellery, accessory or beauty product that i ever borrowed, for all of your outfit opinions and fashion advice, for cooking me your delicious and sometimes experimental meals, for making me cups of tea, for giving me lifts to work on a friday or when my car was being fixed, for always making my friends and family feel welcome here, for giving me pep talks and showing what it means to be truly positive and optimistic and for the millions of other things you have done for me or with me. living with you has been so harmonious and stress free, always a lovely, happy place to come home to and it was exactly what i needed during some difficult times. i hope that you have enjoyed it just as much as i have! i am already dreaming up of lots of paddington dates for us and i hope you will invite me for tea in 'our' courtyard as soon as the sun starts to shine again. stay your beautiful self and keep this home filled with heart ♥
