keep pictures and videos of them and don’t try to NOT miss them. it’s a big step in life, it isn’t supposed to be easy and you’re more than allowed to transition at whatever pace you want. call them and text them as much as you want, seriously, they want that more than they want you growing up. eventually you’ll find it’s easier than it used to be, then you’ll find you like your own space even though you love them - and that’s not something to be guilty abt either

allow urself to miss them, but also make sure u get out of ur apartment/room/etc and do things! finding things to do that bring u out of ur own space will help u meet ppl and get to know ur new area :)
