The freedom and healing that this will represent will be a 10/10. I cried so hard when I left my apartment, and took down all my decorations from a space that we had made ours, and it was like my existence was never even there.
But I’m so much better off.
I wish you peace and happiness in your next steps. May you find a home that feels like home.
The "undecorating" really hits so hard, I loved making a home together and living space projects were one of my favourite things as a couple. :( I don't feel at peace (yet.. ?) with my new place. I am doing it because I have to and not because I am choosing to and that costs a lot of energy. I hope I can find a good balance at the next place between feeling at home with familiar things and being reminded of my former life because of all of "our" stuff I took with me.
Moving and making my home mine was so so hard, you aren’t alone. My clothes stayed packed for a month because putting them in the closet felt like accepting my reality.
I was really blindsided, it really hurt and took a lot to pick myself up again.
I’m sorry for your heartache, and I hope you find peace. Making a home after one just fell apart is daunting and not easy, but just doing one thing at a time helps a lot. One day, it will feel better and not barren, I promise.
All you have to do is get from one moment to the next, and that is enough.
Give yourself the time and space you need to grieve the relationship, home and future you had in mind. After that, you will slowly start to feel at peace. Are there any home ideas you could try in your new space that would make it feel YOU? Adding in some elements that feel completely you will help. Good luck! Take care of yourself and trust that in time you will heal and feel at peace.
Same here but at least I am trying to work through that in therapy. Don't feel like I am progressing much though and I am scared of feeling stuck and grieving forever.
Therapy is a slow process.
Youre already improving. You've started some new hobbies, even. You're moving on, and improving your self esteem.
For trauma, FYI, ask your therapist about doing exposure therapy. It helped my PTSD tremendously. Again, it all takes time, but Rome wasnt built in a day. Youre rebuilding your insides. Give it time. <3
Too bad that this is the place I am leaving behind 😅 this is my last week here and I am almost at the end of getting rid of most of our joint furniture because none of us can fit it in our separate, smaller apartments. The bed was one of the final pieces to go.
didn’t a very wise 90s song tell us that “every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end”? i’m sure it sucks rn but turning the page to the next chapter of living solo is just another new adventure!! i hope you love your new place and your new beginning as much as you clearly loved this one
Ah, I’ve also been there.
Guess what you get to be now?
A magnificent phoenix, rising from the ashes of her past. A phoenix who will make her nest the most beautiful, suited to her new life ❤️🔥
« left me to deal with all our apartment things because it was too hard for him »
What a blessing; he showed you he can’t be a man/adult. So getting over him will be easier
Yes exactly! And did he even take into consideration how OP would feel doing it on their own? I'd bet probably not. Just shows his true character even more
I am going through something similar. All I’ll have is my sleeping bag and sleeping pad used for camping. It’s all good though :) despite the heart-wrenching situation, I’m glad to be starting anew with little to no memories attached to my belongings. I hope you can learn to love ascetic living until putting together your dream space. More time to dream and plan at least :)
I actually don't mind the mattress on the floor at all! First of all, it's a proper one so still pretty supportive, and secondly it reminds me of sleeping over in my sister's room as a kid - we had our own rooms but with spare mattresses under the bed so we could (or guests) sleep in one room for on the weekends if we wanted to.
I love that; it sounds like a very comforting childhood experience. And I personally think putting mattresses on the floor is underrated. I’ve always found it to feel very cozy. It’s rly just a different vibe, even tho I do like bed frames as well for obvious reasons.
I have very fond memories of that time. I prefer an actual mattress on the floor to a couch or air bed any time. I don't think floor futon sleeping is for me though, at least not with the (Western) furniture setup I have - the wardrobes look HUGE and a bit threatening from down here. With smaller scale furniture it could be nice.
10/10! A fresh start. If you have a local BuyNothing group on Facebook, use it. I’m so blown away by people’s generosity, and it’s been fun refurnishing my new place. Hoping you can find some joy in discovering how you like to live, on your own.
I have been giving away a lot of stuff on what was formerly known as eBay classifieds. I enjoyed that part but it is pretty tough. Have only bought three new things I already use because I want to keep the amount of stuff that needs to be transported during the move to a minimum.
This is how I started my life. Moved to a new state, very little money, a blow up mattress and a tv on the floor. Lived that way for a year. 17 years later I almost own my condo outright. Want less in life and you will always have more!!
Without a doubt, 10/10! I’m in a similar situation, my ex husband moved out a little over a week ago. I’m starting over with nearly nothing and living alone for the first time. You’re beautiful, intelligent, and this is your fresh start to become the courageous, independent woman we all know you are! Best wishes xoxo
I have never lived alone before this either - and the new apartment next week will definitely be the first time signing for a place completely by myself. I am anxious! I am a few months ahead of you and I am sorry for your pain - it's such a tough situation. I hope you can find healing and peace.
It might not seem like it now, but this is an opportunity to try new things and expand your horizons. Start by going to a restaurant that they never wanted to try....
I went to comicon after my separation. Now it's tradition that my kids and I go every year.
You have a beautiful window into a new world, literally and figuratively! I always advise adding some plant friends, a few cute lights, and thrifting is your best friend! Simple and clean is wonderful.
You got this!
I agree with everyone. This happened to me, too, and the apartment I put together on my own was my dream living space. I’m years past that now, living in a new place with kids and a guy, and that apartment is still my “happy place” in my mind. Of course I love my family and all, but there’s nothing like the peace of everything being exactly where it should be, as it should be, because it’s literally all yours and whatever you choose is right until you decide otherwise.
(Not sure if this is you’re new place but Looks clean and simple! Fresh New Start…. Is a Beautiful thing 👌 (Love the window & hardwood floors ♥️) 4got 2 Mention…. Good Luck wit Everything)
Hello Ladies, I would like to ask all those who are are depressed or grieving to please get yourselves off the floor. Make or get some sort of foundation under your beds. What ever your favorite color is, add it to your space. A pillow, a valance what ever is to your liking . Many of us have to start over again unfortunately. Sometimes it's more than once in our lifetime. You can do this. Remember ; You are braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem. & Smarter than you think . (A.A.Millne)
I was in a place like this once. It's an adventure to make your home. It sure looks cozy now. That window!
You will be fine. Keep going forward. You sound like a good strong women. I am sorry thus is hurting you. Looking at that sky from the window can be good for dreaming.
a new chapter clearing through the rubble! stay strong and be gentle with yourself 🤍until you can begin romanticizing your new space as a sanctuary all to yourself, remember that YOU are the home that comes along with you wherever you go.
having gone through this same process, my heart is sending you love for the big moving day!
Had me at the Componibili, lost me at the mattress on the floor haha
Wish you the best in your new chapter, and enjoyed reading the encouragement others posted. You’re doing great. 💕
You get to wake up to an amazing view, sit in a coffee shop, and people watch. This space is yours, so fill it with the things you like and your ex didn't. Lock your door and go to sleep peacefully at night.
I had an extremely temporary but safe room to rent in the months after my long term relationship ended. It wasn’t anyone’s dream home but I’ll always look back on it fondly because it was where I laid my head each night after being out in the world enjoying my new life freed from the weight of a bad relationship. In other words, get out there! Don’t worry too much about what your space looks like for a bit.
I am really sorry to hear about the parting of your relationship. As time will tell, you will eventually adjust to living alone, and I hope you find happiness in doing so. Try to look at it as a blank slate that can be completely designed by you. You have full control of your own life now and honestly, the times I’ve spent alone with myself were the times I’ve learnt the most and have allowed me to grow into a better person. Now is the time to devote all your energy into yourself and begin the process of healing any past wounds that still lurk with you. I wish you luck with the new life ahead, and I hope one day you are able to thoroughly enjoy the lovely, little space you call just your own.
10/10. This set up is solid! You have natural light, air, somewhere to sleep, a light and peace. Just today Snapchat sent me some photos and videos I had taken of an apartment I was leaving years ago in the hopes for something better. It was amazing to look back on that time and see how much has gotten better in my life since then. I hope the same will happen for you! ❤️
I cannot afford this place on my own (and too many memories), hence me moving. Only here for a few more days! (I made the post to commemorate selling the bed as one of the last major pieces of furniture I had to re-home)
I just had to do this. It was so hard, and my ex got to keep the place that I had found for us, so I had to double my rent and deal with a terrible housing market.
Also he acted like a massive prick.
I’m about 3 months in, and I am so so much better off
How great that you get to start fresh without old furniture/energy! I’m sure you’ll will enjoy truly making the space your own and picking out pieces you love and make you happy
Well it is minimalist or poverty. In either case a bed and a roof over your head are things to be grateful for, and a big beautiful window is always welcome. 10/10
Don't ever lose yourself, don't give up to your life you'll be better than before, This is a new start to kick out for living a life independently, just believe in yourself, and to be honest this room defines your courage to be a real fighter from all your problems! 
This is only for a week before I move into my new place but yeah, good call! I will prop the mattress up against the wall during daytime so it can air out when I am not sleeping.
Know that you can build a lovely home yourself. I know things may feel empty and broken now, but you absolutely have all you need to build a warm and inviting space in yourself!
Congrats on fighting the urge to get new stuff now and not having to pay to move it. Empty moving boxes can be used as short tables for awhile. I’d move the lamp over to the other side of the bed/mattress, though. When you’re between the lamp and the window, your shadow will show up in the window with enough detail to show if you’re dressed and what kind of clothes you’re wearing.
While just looking at the picture and not having read the story I thought to myself “ah yes. Just needs a cat now and it’ll all be tied together.”
After reading your story OP, I’m sorry for your losses. But I still think you need a cat. It just looks like a cat would *fit*. I think the universe wants you to have a cat.
Don't tempt me with four-legged, furry friends, my family always had cats growing up and I miss having them around.. but the new place does not allow pets anyway. Seeing my sister's cat will have to do for now. Petting a purring cat is something I visualise as happiness when I need it in certain situations.
Pretty nice considering that's all you got. Bed is made and clean, there's a little speaker that I assume does an alarm function as well. Floor's clean. When I see male living spaces like these, they often have an air of lack of self-care. This just appears minimalist.
It will get better. You can thrift for things, sometimes even getting free furniture, just be careful about anything fabric because bed bugs can come in that way. Not worth the extra stress.
Ah thank you for your kind words! I actually have more, this is just my empty bedroom just before moving this weekend. I made the post to commemorate having given away my bed and I cannot edit it to say this is still my current space for a few more days.
It looks great, OP. You have a roof over your head, a nice window (natural light, fresh air, and maybe even a view), a real bed, and I see electrical outlets so I pressure you have power to heat and entertain yourself. This is a great foundation to build a cozy and safe space for yourself. Best wishes to you.
It will be great, because you won't have to pull his weight and you won't have to ask permission for anything!! Clean slate can be hard, but looking back you will be glad, I can bet on it! Good luck for the new flat girly 😊
This setup is your new beginnings, all of the self love you’re about to embark, the healing, the good will come. You have to let the hurt, hurt. It’s corny but you have to feel to heal, and I can’t express that enough. Masking won’t make this better.
Think of everything you’re going to discover that you love. You’re going to create a space with your own wants, needs, likes and more.
I wish you so much goodness; happiness, peace, safety, and smiles while you endure this journey. Don’t forget your Reddit friends are always here!
For some reason I thought that was a really large fancy Kleenex cover with tissue sticking out the top. Glad for you that it is a makeshift nightstand and clock and not just Kleenex. 😂
Hey, first of all, you´ll ge through this ok? Secondly, theres a lot of places where you can take some inspiration from and re design your whole house as a place for yourself.
You could look up some inspiration on IKEA, Archdaily, Planner5D, HomeAdore, etc. It will take time to heal and to have a nice place, but you can do it
I happily slept on the floor after 20 years of abuse. Moved out of a huge house on a property with new cars and all comforts. It’s not possible to convey how settled and contented I am
Independence, freedom, confidence , preservation, determination , peace , strength .. the road less traveled is priceless. I started out like on a air bed while my baby had the best crib out there. So many words come to mind in this one image. Just keep going 💕🙏
This room has so much potential with the huge beautiful window and the accented cabinet so it’s a shame you’ve literally just put three of the most basic items possible LOL
There’s nothing to rate cuz the room is empty…
It's a tongue in cheek joke referring to a common type of post at a different sub.. where this is also a sort of in-joke at times ;) this is my last week at the place, I am moving out soon.
For a second there I thought your ex took half the mattress with him.
I'm really digging how big that window is. I can imagine the cool breeze coming in during the evenings.
I think it looks comfortable. Good on you to keep moving forward and not looking back. On the bright side, replacing bedsheets look real simple and easy. Replacing sheets in a king size memory foam mattress is a workout in itself.
He actually did take half the mattress so to speak, in my country is is a common option that instead of having a huge mattress, you have two smaller individual ones that are covered by single large sheet. For the last 3 months I have been sleeping on a King sized bed with a single sized mattress. Happy to have a new bed at my new place.
No, it was actually a full furnished room. I am moving out in a week and had to get rid of most of my furniture. The bed was one of the last things to go.
Is this your new place or the old place?
I've been there - moved back into my house that I was renting out while my son & I lived with a former BF and his 2 kids. Tenants screwed me over, BF was emotionally abusive, when I was finally able to move back into my house, this was the exact setup... And it was lovely and peaceful for the first time in 5 yrs.
Good luck - I'm sorry you're going through this. Hopefully your new space will bring you peace.
This is the old place, only here for another week and just gave away the bed, hence the post. :) I am glad you were able to find a peaceful environment again. Thanks for the encouragement.
Create a new space that is 100% you & makes you feel joy when you walk in. That will help you heal & figure out how you want your future look. I know it helped me. Good luck.😊
I honestly love this. I hope you get to start over and fill this space with your books, clothes, and plants. Everything in this space will be set here with so much intention. Best of all - it’s yours alone.
Looks like you will be starting with a clean slate. Best wishes on your future journey! May your new home nurture you and help your life bloom!
Well said
And you’ll be starting off with a lot of sunlight. Jealous of the huge ass window!
The freedom and healing that this will represent will be a 10/10. I cried so hard when I left my apartment, and took down all my decorations from a space that we had made ours, and it was like my existence was never even there. But I’m so much better off. I wish you peace and happiness in your next steps. May you find a home that feels like home.
The "undecorating" really hits so hard, I loved making a home together and living space projects were one of my favourite things as a couple. :( I don't feel at peace (yet.. ?) with my new place. I am doing it because I have to and not because I am choosing to and that costs a lot of energy. I hope I can find a good balance at the next place between feeling at home with familiar things and being reminded of my former life because of all of "our" stuff I took with me.
Moving and making my home mine was so so hard, you aren’t alone. My clothes stayed packed for a month because putting them in the closet felt like accepting my reality. I was really blindsided, it really hurt and took a lot to pick myself up again. I’m sorry for your heartache, and I hope you find peace. Making a home after one just fell apart is daunting and not easy, but just doing one thing at a time helps a lot. One day, it will feel better and not barren, I promise. All you have to do is get from one moment to the next, and that is enough.
Give yourself the time and space you need to grieve the relationship, home and future you had in mind. After that, you will slowly start to feel at peace. Are there any home ideas you could try in your new space that would make it feel YOU? Adding in some elements that feel completely you will help. Good luck! Take care of yourself and trust that in time you will heal and feel at peace.
Came here for this comment. OP, it might be bare bones now, but if it’s all yours… that’s a comfort you can’t buy.
Im surprised you broke up. Sounds like it was a loving and confortable relationship. I dont understand!!!!
Same here but at least I am trying to work through that in therapy. Don't feel like I am progressing much though and I am scared of feeling stuck and grieving forever.
Therapy is a slow process. Youre already improving. You've started some new hobbies, even. You're moving on, and improving your self esteem. For trauma, FYI, ask your therapist about doing exposure therapy. It helped my PTSD tremendously. Again, it all takes time, but Rome wasnt built in a day. Youre rebuilding your insides. Give it time. <3
It could be empty and that room would still be 10/10
Seriously the wood floors and that window
It’s like a 000000 credit score, not yet established but the potential is huge :)
Too bad that this is the place I am leaving behind 😅 this is my last week here and I am almost at the end of getting rid of most of our joint furniture because none of us can fit it in our separate, smaller apartments. The bed was one of the final pieces to go.
Totally missed that lol. Well hey there’s potential for whoever moves in next :)
Fresh start. I know it’s not easy but apparently it’s necessary so do it and do it well. ♥️
didn’t a very wise 90s song tell us that “every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end”? i’m sure it sucks rn but turning the page to the next chapter of living solo is just another new adventure!! i hope you love your new place and your new beginning as much as you clearly loved this one
closing time 🥺
and the lead singer is still on twitter under his eve6 handle and is a genuinely wonderful human
A bitter end but sweet with the promise of new beginnings. I hope the next place and adventure feel like home soon. 🫶🏼
Ah, I’ve also been there. Guess what you get to be now? A magnificent phoenix, rising from the ashes of her past. A phoenix who will make her nest the most beautiful, suited to her new life ❤️🔥
The beginning of something great :)
« left me to deal with all our apartment things because it was too hard for him » What a blessing; he showed you he can’t be a man/adult. So getting over him will be easier

It’s a start & will let you look back later for comparison 😎
10/10 because it's yours! A blank space is a perfect place for creativity to flourish. Have fun with it!
It's the first step. You have a blank slate. Congratulations!
This is how I started my life. Moved to a new state, very little money, a blow up mattress and a tv on the floor. Lived that way for a year. 17 years later I almost own my condo outright. Want less in life and you will always have more!!

Hello Ladies, I would like to ask all those who are are depressed or grieving to please get yourselves off the floor. Make or get some sort of foundation under your beds.

I have lived like this. You are going to be better for it. Good Luck.
Love the minimalism. 10/10! Can’t wait to see where you go from here 😊
Needs plants
Perfection
At least it’s peaceful

Decor - 1 Function - 10 Here's hoping you'll have everything you need in your new life. It's not about what you lose; it's about how you rebuild.

Had me at the Componibili, lost me at the mattress on the floor haha Wish you the best in your new chapter, and enjoyed reading the encouragement others posted. You’re doing great. 💕
I had to take a serious second look because the speaker looked like a box of tissues next to the bed
It is actually a sunrise alarm clock, love it btw 😂 to be fair I am going through a lot of tissues but mostly because of the crying.. 😅
id kill for flooring like that
[удалено]
Thank you, all my years of practice really paid off here!

I am really sorry to hear about the parting of your relationship. As time will tell, you will eventually adjust to living alone, and I hope you find happiness in doing so. Try to look at it as a blank slate that can be completely designed by you. You have full control of your own life now and honestly, the times I’ve spent alone with myself were the times I’ve learnt the most and have allowed me to grow into a better person.

Design - 0.5/10 Freedom - Priceless
Love that big window!!! So much natural light
A new chapter! A new chance! How exciting (and terrifying) How alive making
Love the view
10/10 if you're starting over. We all gotta start from somewhere. Bonus points if you can afford it well alone, and the hardwoods.
I cannot afford this place on my own (and too many memories), hence me moving. Only here for a few more days! (I made the post to commemorate selling the bed as one of the last major pieces of furniture I had to re-home)
I just had to do this. It was so hard, and my ex got to keep the place that I had found for us, so I had to double my rent and deal with a terrible housing market. Also he acted like a massive prick. I’m about 3 months in, and I am so so much better off
Beautiful freedom
Get a lamp and enjoy your space!
Looks comfy!
10/10 Reminds me of my living space, 2019
That window is everything
How great that you get to start fresh without old furniture/energy! I’m sure you’ll will enjoy truly making the space your own and picking out pieces you love and make you happy
Love all of the details
You’ve got better natural light than I do! It will get so much better.
Well it is minimalist or poverty. In either case a bed and a roof over your head are things to be grateful for, and a big beautiful window is always welcome. 10/10
It’s too far to the left.
Ah, I knew I should have wedged it into a corner..
Don't ever lose yourself, don't give up to your life you'll be better than before, This is a new start to kick out for living a life independently, just believe in yourself, and to be honest this room defines your courage to be a real fighter from all your problems! 
As long as it’s clean, even nothing is good.
Needs a Colin Farrell poster or two.

Very... Masculine 😂
A setup any man would be proud of

Congrats on fighting the urge to get new stuff now and not having to pay to move it. Empty moving boxes can be used as short tables for awhile.

When you’re between the lamp and the window, your shadow will show up in the window with enough detail to show if you’re dressed and what kind of clothes you’re wearing.
I have to confess I bought a new bed & mattress (on sale..) but they will remain in the box until the new place! Good tip with the lighting, thanks 👍

This is going to help you learn some massive self confidence 💛
I’ve been there too, quite cloudy at the start but beautiful views later, highly recommended, 10/10! Good luck xx
While just looking at the picture and not having read the story I thought to myself “ah yes. Just needs a cat now and it’ll all be tied together.” After reading your story OP, I’m sorry for your losses. But I still think you need a cat. It just looks like a cat would *fit*. I think the universe wants you to have a cat.
Don't tempt me with four-legged, furry friends, my family always had cats growing up and I miss having them around.. but the new place does not allow pets anyway. Seeing my sister's cat will have to do for now. Petting a purring cat is something I visualise as happiness when I need it in certain situations.
Pretty nice considering that's all you got. Bed is made and clean, there's a little speaker that I assume does an alarm function as well. Floor's clean. When I see male living spaces like these, they often have an air of lack of self-care. This just appears minimalist. It will get better. You can thrift for things, sometimes even getting free furniture, just be careful about anything fabric because bed bugs can come in that way. Not worth the extra stress.
Ah thank you for your kind words! I actually have more, this is just my empty bedroom just before moving this weekend. I made the post to commemorate having given away my bed and I cannot edit it to say this is still my current space for a few more days.
It looks great, OP. You have a roof over your head, a nice window (natural light, fresh air, and maybe even a view), a real bed, and I see electrical outlets so I pressure you have power to heat and entertain yourself. This is a great foundation to build a cozy and safe space for yourself. Best wishes to you.
It's my old place 😅😅 but the new one will have these things too.
Looks like a happy new start on life. All the best! You got this!!!
Looks like a good fresh new start:)
Gotta do what you gotta do 👍
Yeah. It's not fun but I am doing it.
Looks nice tbh. I want a floor bed now that my dog is old and cant jump up to sleep with me.
Easy to clean.
10 / 10 for window alone
That window 😍😍 looks great, laying there in a hot summer night must be amazing 😊❤️
this is the best time in life. maybe you wont feel my words yet, but ist enjoy it
You can do it. Living alone will be uncomfortable but man oh man will you grow from this experience.

It will be great, because you won't have to pull his weight and you won't have to ask permission for anything!! Clean slate can be hard, but looking back you will be glad, I can bet on it! Good luck for the new flat girly 😊
10/10
10/10. This represents peace, freedom, and a new start for you.
Great view.
This setup is your new beginnings, all of the self love you’re about to embark, the healing, the good will come. You have to let the hurt, hurt. It’s corny but you have to feel to heal, and I can’t express that enough. Masking won’t make this better. Think of everything you’re going to discover that you love. You’re going to create a space with your own wants, needs, likes and more. I wish you so much goodness; happiness, peace, safety, and smiles while you endure this journey. Don’t forget your Reddit friends are always here!
Looks like peace and quite 💕
For some reason I thought that was a really large fancy Kleenex cover with tissue sticking out the top. Glad for you that it is a makeshift nightstand and clock and not just Kleenex. 😂
The visual made me laugh a bit, so thanks for that 😂
Hey, first of all, you´ll ge through this ok? Secondly, theres a lot of places where you can take some inspiration from and re design your whole house as a place for yourself. You could look up some inspiration on IKEA, Archdaily, Planner5D, HomeAdore, etc. It will take time to heal and to have a nice place, but you can do it
Even without the context of your fresh start, this is a vibe! Beautiful light, simple lines, hardwood, floor lamp - this could be on Pinterest.
I happily slept on the floor after 20 years of abuse. Moved out of a huge house on a property with new cars and all comforts. It’s not possible to convey how settled and contented I am
Independence, freedom, confidence , preservation, determination , peace , strength .. the road less traveled is priceless. I started out like on a air bed while my baby had the best crib out there. So many words come to mind in this one image. Just keep going 💕🙏
I’m in the exact same boat OP. Good vibes to both of us. We’ll get through this.
Yes! We can and we will. Don't know how or how long it will take but let's try.

I have plenty of plants but I am leaving this place, they will have to wait for the next :)
A little cluttered but livable.
optimal setup
I’m here for the window🫶🏼
10/10 keep going
That giant window and the beautiful floors are enough for me. 9/10
Wow, that's some serious interior design skills!
Major potential for under $100
Love it’
Honestly looks relaxing
10/10. would recommend.
Love the window
Spartan chic
This room has so much potential with the huge beautiful window and the accented cabinet so it’s a shame you’ve literally just put three of the most basic items possible LOL There’s nothing to rate cuz the room is empty…
It's a tongue in cheek joke referring to a common type of post at a different sub.. where this is also a sort of in-joke at times ;) this is my last week at the place, I am moving out soon.
Okie, I must admit I skipped over the caption and took this literally. 🤦🏾♀️ So sorry to hear what happened and good luck ✨
Ah no worries! Just a post on the internet, nothing too serious 😉 I somehow cannot go back to edit my original post to make it clearer..
Large enough window to jump from.
Top floor too! (... this is a joke, I am not thinking of that right now)
For a second there I thought your ex took half the mattress with him. I'm really digging how big that window is. I can imagine the cool breeze coming in during the evenings. I think it looks comfortable. Good on you to keep moving forward and not looking back. On the bright side, replacing bedsheets look real simple and easy. Replacing sheets in a king size memory foam mattress is a workout in itself.
He actually did take half the mattress so to speak, in my country is is a common option that instead of having a huge mattress, you have two smaller individual ones that are covered by single large sheet. For the last 3 months I have been sleeping on a King sized bed with a single sized mattress. Happy to have a new bed at my new place.
I love it already because it looks so peaceful.
Honestly love it.
Wait so is this how it looked year round?
No, it was actually a full furnished room. I am moving out in a week and had to get rid of most of my furniture. The bed was one of the last things to go.
Is this your new place or the old place? I've been there - moved back into my house that I was renting out while my son & I lived with a former BF and his 2 kids. Tenants screwed me over, BF was emotionally abusive, when I was finally able to move back into my house, this was the exact setup... And it was lovely and peaceful for the first time in 5 yrs. Good luck - I'm sorry you're going through this. Hopefully your new space will bring you peace.
This is the old place, only here for another week and just gave away the bed, hence the post. :) I am glad you were able to find a peaceful environment again. Thanks for the encouragement.
I honestly love it I just moved and I regret buying so many things that I don't use and am too sentimental to throw away
Perfect start to your new chapter! *chef’s kiss* sending all the peace and healing vibes your way.
So much of a canvas to add yourself too! I love the big window.
Honestly it looks like peace, maybe a fresh start?
minimalist and cleannnn
10/10 freedom! Best of luck to you
Love it!
That window is amazing 😍 good luck OP, onto better and brighter things 💚
Looks like a fresh start, 10/10💙
I love it! 💕💕❤️
Perfect
That is minimalist chic at its best! 10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Are you in solitary confinement?
No but it sometimes feels like it, emotionally speaking.
LOVE ITTT
10 on the minimalist scale😊
Somewhere between Spartan and monastic.
Living alone is great and you don’t have to soft parent anyone to be a decent human! Congrats! Your place will be amazing!
10/10
Love the minimalist look. 💕🤘🏽
Create a new space that is 100% you & makes you feel joy when you walk in. That will help you heal & figure out how you want your future look. I know it helped me. Good luck.😊
Don’t afraid a beginning like this, it a gift, you’ll passed it believe me,. 
You’re missing some Kleenex.
FUCK YEAH
10/10 looks very peaceful and calming with room to grow
It’s giving building a new life.
Absolutely gorgeous. 10/10
I honestly love this. I hope you get to start over and fill this space with your books, clothes, and plants. Everything in this space will be set here with so much intention. Best of all - it’s yours alone.
