Throughout my life I lived with people.

I always wondered how it would feel to finally have a place of my own. A place where I could just be my complete self, with no judgement, or opinions of others.

My little humble abode.

I spoke my desires into existence, and have been living alone for the past two years.

I needed to get my own place in order to learn how to be alone. In order to get to know myself on the deepest levels.

Some of the benefits of living alone are the following:

• Silence.
• Self Reflection
• Do whatever I want!

Living alone also has its cons, like when you get lonely, and have no one around to talk to. Especially on those lonely nights when you want to lay down and cuddle, while watching Netflix.

But truly, in those darkest moments is when you get to know who you are.

At these points you can burn some incense, turn on some smooth mediation music, and just breath. There is no one there telling you can’t do this, or that. You can just be.

If I decided to get up and dance, I could! That is the beauty of having your own.

Imagine never being able to cry out loud, or sing out loud while getting ready in front of the mirror with music playing in the background. That would be DEVASTATING!

When you live with other people, you have to compromise. You have to both come to an agreement on how to decorate the home, when to clean the home etc.

Living alone gives YOU the freedom to decide! If you want to be a minimalist you could be that, and if you want to be a hoarder you could be that too.

Not suggesting that hoarding is good, but you get the point.

I believe everyone should live alone at least one time in their lives.

Imagine always living with people for the rest of your life? Never knowing how it feels to have your own place. Never knowing how it feels to be in your own energy, your own vibe.

That would suck in my opinion.

Living by myself has made me more of who I am. I am more sure of myself. I love being alone and I take my alone time seriously.

I know my likes and my dislikes.. and I will never settle.
