when did you move out ?

I've always wanted to be independent and live independently, away from my parents and the rest of our relative who live with us in our family house. Not that I don't like them or I don't like being with them. I just want to have my own personal space and place that's not just a room inside our house. I guess I'm a 'late bloomer' in regards to moving out and having my own place. I moved out when I was a working student and in my senior year. I only had a few things: my bags, clothes, shoes and sandals, books, blanket, pillow and other personal stuff. Later on, I started to buy a few things like more pillows, and kitchen wares. Just recently, my fiancee and I moved in to a big fully-furnished house (from a small cramped studio-type apartment). So now it seemed like we have two of everything: microwave ovens, kitchen utensils, stoves, dining tables, televisions, etc.. But I consider those as blessings. ^_^

i first moved out when i finished school and went to my first job, i was 18 1/2 at the time. then came back about 10 months later for a few weeks, went again for about 4 months. another quick trip home and was only there for a week this time round, then left yet again to return to an extent 4/5 months later. then i was about to have my son when my partner and i finally had our own place. basically been out since, but still have things over at mum place. thou it nice to have your own place.
