Last Night at Parents’ House/Coping with End of Childhood

[u/Open-Obligation-5357]

Hello everyone. I (22 M) am moving out of parents’ house to start my first job out of state after many applications and spending almost a year at home after graduating college last year. Although the prospect of having my own apartment and my own job with income is great and I’m lucky to be in this position considering many people are struggling a lot right now to get bye, I still feel terrified of what’s to come tbh. I’m mainly looking for some advice on how to deal with the transition to adulthood emotionally. Although the responsibilities of adulthood are challenging in their own right, I’m mostly worried about missing my family since I am very close with them.

I had friends in college and was in state (only about 3 hours away max) and I still felt homesick a decent amount of time. I had plenty of long breaks to look forward when I could visit while now visits are fewer and far between due to being farther away and since I will have less days off. I know I’m very privileged since many people don’t have families to go back to or nice childhoods with no trauma, but I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on how to deal with emotionally handling the transition. Hearing how people dealt with this hopefully will make me feel less alone.
