That night, the first night of being on my own, I’m not ashamed to say I broke down.
It’s strange being on your own, fending for yourself. Not to say I relied on my parents when I lived with them, but you know what I mean.
I cried myself to sleep that night. I’m sure it’ll get easier. It’s not like I’m completely alone.
Although my new house is lovely, it’s quiet. A bit too quiet.
After looking around and getting used to the place, I set up my laptop and set up a housewarming party on Facebook.
Of course I invited my family and friends from school. I just hope they turn up.
A new house, a new start.
I’m devastated to be away from my family, but I’m excited at the same time.
I can’t stay cooped up in that house, not really. Even though I’d be with people I love, it’s too small for five adults and a bloody big dog.
I’m not too far away from them; a couple of blocks away at the most.
I have a cute little one storey house beside the beach. It has the most amazing view; Lars would be jealous.
So here we are. Standing outside of the house she grew up in, crying and hugging and.. smiling.
This isn’t the end.. this is just the beginning.
So here it is. The day my baby Kimi leaves home; leaves us.
I can’t believe how quickly time has flown. From her being a sweet little toddler, to, well, a sweet little adult.
I’m not going to lie and say I’m not upset, because I am. I’m extremely upset, but it happens to every family. More than anything, I’m proud of her. I’m the proudest parent in the world, apart from Tobi, of course.
okay so i’m finishing the poll at 7pm because i really want to get onto playing the next gen, so get voting simmers c:
the poll is in my sidebar!
And last but not least, there’s Luna.
Although she’s the youngest, she’s by no means left out. If anything, she’s the most noticed. Having the star quality and social butterfly traits, she loves to be the centre of attention, no matter where she is, she’ll make herself the centre of attention.
Unlike her brother and sister, she is a complete technophobe. Put a laptop in front of her and she’s stumped. Anything that has wiring and switches is not her cup of tea.
She also tends to wake up on the wrong side of the bed every morning, no thanks to her grumpy trait. Because of this, she rarely gets on with her parents and siblings, but they try to deal.
Having the nurturing trait helps in her career now she’s aged up, as she’s a primary school teacher, hoping to become a highschool or even college teacher.
All I can say is that I hope she gets as far as she wants to.
Second we have Lars.
Lars was originally going to be the last child, so he got spoilt by, well, everyone.
Now, unlike Kimi and Luna, Lars hates art. Anything to do with it, he hates it. So whenever his sisters are talking about art or watching a TV show on the topic, he has to leave the room before he starts an argument.
Lars is definitely the quiet one of the family, very like Jösef. He keeps himself to himself and never asks for help or lets anyone know he’s in trouble or struggling.
He’s not all that confident, due to him being bullied back in high school, but he’s not afraid to take anyone’s shit, all thanks to his dad giving him a little prep talk.
Also following in his father’s (Jösef) footsteps, Lars is working alongside him in the local hospital, hoping to get as high as he can.
My baby left peacefully. I don’t think I will be putting him up for download. I just love him too much. Maybe not until the Eggleston legacy ends.
First born of the Hanssen trio is Kimi.
Being the oldest, you’d think she’d be the bossy-i’m-better-than-you sibling, but she’s really not. She loves her younger brother and sister more than most would.
Having the artistic trait, she’s always painting. In her room, at work, in the park, you name it, she has her easel or sketchbook.
None of the family ever thought she’d follow in Tobi’s footsteps, getting a job in the fire department. They’re shocked, to say the least, but proud that she’s not wasting her life away drinking and partying.
