live alone

In order to do this, I have to move out. Time to add a new goal.

Alone is relative when one is a mother, but here is where I am finally going to live alone with my daughter if I am brave enough.

I will live completely alone. Test drive!

... may be close to coming true though I won’t “technically” be living alone. I will also live with my daughter. If events lead me to living “alone” with my daughter, I am going to use this goal on 43T to document the first two months of the adventure and how it feels.

I am living in a communal setting, sharing a wall tent with my husband, and yet, I am lonelier now than I have ever been, even when I seek intentional solitude. My husband hangs out with the other employees, watches movies with the kids in the day room in the evenings. I seek out the tent and some reading and writing time. I have coffee in the tent in the mornings before having a third cup in the cookshack.

If I ever live alone, I will reward myself by never looking at prices in the grocery store… just buying what I want to eat.

... so someday I would enjoy living alone. I think everyone should try it and I am encouraging my chilren (especially my daughter) to do this while they are young. I think I would be good at living alone. I am not that good at living WITH people.
