2 Things They Don’t Tell You About Living Alone

When you start living alone, no one tells you that life is complicated.

At first, you might feel a little bored and tired,

but as time goes on, you will gradually fall in love with it.

The Initial Struggle

1. No Hot Food Waiting

When you come home from work,

you have to drag your tired body to make your own dinner.

2. Broken Things

When a lamp breaks, you might just skip dinner

instead of fixing it because the effort seems too high.

3. Loneliness

When you want to talk to someone before bed,

you realize you can only use your phone;

there is no one there face-to-face.

The Shift: Enjoying Your Own Life

Eventually, you start to enjoy the solitude.

1. The Silence

It is quiet—really quiet.

You can go an entire weekend without talking,

living in a vacuum with just the hum of a fan.

I enjoy the silence because I get to discover myself a lot.

2. Freedom to Rest

You can come home and just rest on the sofa

before deciding what to eat.

You have no stress of doing something; it is just you.

Sometimes, I get back from college and just lie down

without doing anything.

I never got this type of freedom anywhere.

3. Self-Sufficiency

Your cooking skills improve,

and you learn to fix things like the toilet or install a new lamp yourself.

You develop these skills because you need them.

You become more independent.

4. Personalizing Your Space

You lean more into your style and vibe.

You dress up your room to reflect your complete mindset and soul.

5. Unfiltered Expression

You can play your music all the time

and literally dance like nobody is watching.

6. Self-discovery and awareness

You become aware of who you truly are.

You are no longer lonely when you are alone or confused.

You become aware of your thoughts, feelings, and vibes.

That’s one of the ultimate gifts of staying alone.

Conclusion

In short, when you start to live alone, you will feel a little overwhelmed.

But gradually, you will fall in love with it

because you will be freer and more responsible for yourself.

One day, you need to learn to live by yourself.
