Living alone

My adventures started late last year when I had been struggling to get a new place to stay.

I have to make a decision to live alone as I felt that it would be more convenient with my profession. I felt that I needed the privacy and peace that comes only with being alone.

It feels lonely living alone sometimes. But, I felt that as I have revolving shifts, I often crave time alone to read, reflect and, just do what I wanted to do to decompress.

The best lessons that I have learnt during the process was kindness. Being kind not just to other people but to myself. While I have expectations to ensure that I am able to run my home effectively. I have to accept the fact that I am not always able to clean up or cook for me because, I might be too tired or sick to do that. I have to stick to specific budget in order to afford paying my bills. Yes, I cannot always buy a new pair of shoes or clothes because I have to think of the "important things" which is adulting in one word.

I learned to take care of me more- either by preparing healthy food for me but also taking the time off to just sleep, relax and do things I love and enjoy.

Living alone is hard, complex and crazy- most of the time. But, I take pride that I am able to get through that. I even started using schedule organizer just to keep track on things- more on that later.
