I had been living with my family until now, but as I entered my mid-to-late 30s, I started thinking a lot about becoming independent! Since my workplace and my parents' home were so close, I hadn't really considered moving out before. But once I started thinking about it, I felt I really wanted to achieve it this year. ^^ Because I have a personality that rushes things forward once I decide to do them, everything from finding a place to signing the contract and moving went smoothly. Haha. As is often the case when starting to live independently, I looked into studio apartments, but since I have a lot of fashion interests, I didn't think my belongings would fit in a studio. So, I started looking for a 1.5-room apartment and ended up finding a place that even has a loft. This is the view of the kitchen from the living room. It has an island counter attached, so it's really great for cooking or just having a quick meal.
