A Semi-Independent City life!!!!

The next two months are gonna be really hectic. My sister n family are visiting us in May to celebrate my 21st birthday and their 5 th wedding anniversary (My sister got married on my 16th bithday!), my PG exams are starting from 26 th of May, and then I'll be moving out by June first week. There are tonnes of things to be done and to add to all these, Iam going through a "I-hate-my-job" phase. Over the past few days, my parents have been asking me to get all the pending and important work done.. like geting my Passport & Voter's card ready, start sorting out the mess and junk which I have passionately been collecting since chidhood (lol) and most important of all - zero in on a house/hostel. The last one shouldnt be difficult as there are many working women's hostels and houses for rent in Mumbai city. The trouble for me would be in deciding what to keep and what to throw. I have emotional attachment to certain things.. actually hell a lot of things. But it would nt be possible to pack them all. And what about my mini library? I have some-hundreds of books and the collection is my "treasure". And also what to do with all my trophies and medals, the greeting cards, gifts.. .oh my God! It is definitely gonna be a testing time trying to decide what to keep and what not to. How the hell am I gonna let go of my old things? And will my parents throw away the things I dont pack with me? I bet they will. My mom is super-excited about finally getting my room cleaned (hehe). Living with parents is fun, secured and convenient but now its time to move out, be more responsible and face the world independently. Dad hates the thought of me living alone here. He would be the happiest if I moved back to Kerala with them. But Iam not ready for that. Its time for me to step outside my safe life, explore the world, make a career, be something and live life exactly the way I want to. It is not gonna be easy to be away from them. Though living on your own sounds very cool there are so many responsibilities when you dont have your parents with you. There will be a dozen things relying on your action. Ahh not to forget the payment of bills. Your diet could go for a toss and how the hell are you gonna balance your work, uni and your personal life. But the worst one is how terribly you are gonna miss living with the people you love the most.
