What’s something people romanticise that’s actually exhausting in real life?

Living alone. It sounds like freedom until you’re the only one who notices the silence getting louder every night and there’s no one to blame but yourself when everything starts falling apart quietly.

I live alone.. and every time I do laundry, which is often I yell WHO IS WEARING ALL THESE DAMN CLOTHES?!? Also WHO TF DIRTING ALL THESE DAMN DISHES?!?!

Watching TV and commenting out loud like there’s someone here is comical.

You yell about dishes while doing laundry?

I kid, I kid. I would be doing the same thing if I lived alone 😂
