Having your own place is a very freeing experience that allows you to learn a lot about yourself. Living alone definitely has its upsides and downsides, but it’s an experience that everyone should have at least once in their life.
Pros
- Everything is yours
- You can eat whatever you want, whenever you want, with no judgement
- You get the whole bed to yourself
- You can walk around naked if you want
- The remote is always in your control
- Nobody complains about your weird habits
- You can decorate in any style you desire
- You can sing and dance in your living room as loud or crazy as you want
- You don’t have to clean if you don’t feel like it (just make sure to do it before any bugs come)
- If talk to your pets or yourself no one thinks your crazy
- No one eats your food or borrows your stuff
- Everything is always exactly the same way you left it`
- You control who comes over
- It’s quiet
Cons
- It’s lonely
- It’s expensive
- If something breaks you can’t blame anyone else
- You have to do all the cleaning
- And all the cooking
- If guest come over and it’s a mess you they know it’s you
- You have to kill all the bugs
- It gets boring
- You have to hire (or bribe with pizza and beer) moving help
- You are responsible for everything
- You always come home to an empty house
- It’s a bit scary when you hear a noise in the middle of the night
- If you lock yourself out there is no one to let you in
- It’s quiet
Loved it and very true. I do think everyone should live on their own before moving in with a partner.
I smiled when I read this! I’ve been thinking about writing short funny stories about this very topic. Yes, my favorite is dancing to music as loud as I want it to be and though it’s expensive, there really is no price tag for “peace”…
