MY LIVING ALONE ERA.

At one given time, you will be moving out of your parents’ house and living with your roommates or perhaps living ALONE.

For some, living alone can seem challenging; for others, it’s no big deal as they might enjoy their own company.

Well, 2 weeks ago, my parents decided to go on a vacation, and trust me, I would do anything to relive that whole week all over again.

When you live alone, or should I say without any adult supervision, you can do whatever you want. No one is there to tell you when to eat, clean your house, or do any chores.

Doesn’t sound very disciplined.

The first few days, you do whatever you want — if you want to wake up at 12 PM, you can.

If you want to eat your lunch at 4 PM, you can.

If you want to have your dinner at 2 AM, you can. There are absolutely no restrictions.

Seems fun? Oh, it is fun.

One may say, “That’s all good, but this can’t continue like this forever; it’s very unhealthy for the individual.” AGREED.

But gradually, after a few days of being alone, you will realize it’s getting too overwhelming, to the point where you feel like you’re now exploiting your own freedom. You start feeling lethargic — like very LETHARGIC.

Eventually, you realize this and start changing that for yourself.

Also, I don’t think anyone is ready for all the additional work that comes along.

I mean the HOUSEHOLD CHORES.

Usually, our parents take care of the house and cook food, so we don’t realize how exhausting this unpaid job really is.

But TRUST ME, IT’S A HELL OF A LOT OF WORK.

I’m talking about doing the dishes, cooking (I didn’t have to cook though), cleaning your house, taking care of yourself, doing the laundry, etc.

On top of that, going to work or college.

It’s like you come home tired only and only to do more household work like your normal job wasn’t enough.

And if you’re someone who can’t stay in a messy environment, then good luck getting a peaceful goodnight’s sleep.

Also, living alone ain’t for the weak, and let me tell you why:

Firstly, I am a person who loves to talk, and I love having someone who keeps me company.

It was so quiet that I needed a podcast in the background cuz it was SO FREAKING SILENT.

I JUST CAN’T—

Secondly, I’m a horror movie enthusiast — I think you understand where I’m getting at.

YES, I SWEAR TO GOD — my whole vacation, I didn’t get sleep until like 3 AM, cuz what if something just pops out of the blue? Yes, I know it’s silly, but when you’re paranoid, there’s no going back.

Also, I was so paranoid about leaving my house cuz what if, after locking my doors, someone, you know… just GETS IN—

IT’S SCARY—

But thanks to this experience, I know what I’m okay with and what things I need to work on.

Living alone makes you realize such things subconsciously — like things you wouldn’t think would make a big difference but actually affect you.

Like for me, I have this blue light in my room and the living room, so in night my room is very neon bright blue and I feel very uneasy without it cuz I’m used to it. But like when I will be living alone, I will need some dim colored light cuz there ain’t no way I’m getting any sleep in a dark room.

When I was living alone, there was only one day when 2 of my close friends came for a sleepover — that’s my best friend and my favorite girl.

And omg, we had sooo much fun — we were up till like 5 AM. Before that, we cooked ramen and had a mini party where we put on music (shoutout to my friend who has an amazing playlist of happening music), and we also bitched and talked about people we HATED because that’s the essence of any girl friendship at this point.

It was my first and best sleepover lowkey.

I would kill to relive that day anytime.

But as they say, all good things come to an end.

I’m so grateful for that week — I really enjoyed myself.

I would suggest to y’all that if you get an opportunity to live alone, then please take the offer — I can reassure you that you won’t regret it.

So the next time your parents bring up the conversation of a possible vacation, you know what to do now.

That’s all for today’s blog. I know I’m not very consistent in my posts, but I don’t want to write meaningless content where y’all lose interest.

Nonetheless, I love writing, so my blog ain’t stopping — it’s amazing to look back and see that I’ve done something on the internet.

As a matter of fact, even my Pinterest also holds the same value as my blog does.

It’s a different thing that I lost about 4 lakh monthly views on my page, but nonetheless, that ain’t stopping me — I will continue to post on Pinterest because now I will be doing it for MYSELF.

Anyways for those who read my blogs whether through my pinterest post links or reddit links , I'm glad that you consider giving my content a read .

I love writing blogs especially such blogs which highlights experiences.

Have a wonderful day ahead 🎀.

I hope you'll are liking my content.
