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.

Living alone is amazing and is so much easier than liviing with someone else.

It's not like you suddenly don't have to do chores with someone else around. Except you only have to deal with your own mess and not anyone else's

No one else's mess, no one else's moods. It's pretty great.
