live with someone

Many remark it is all the fun with none of the committment. I argue if you approach it from that way, you are incredably wrong to even be in that position.

All commitments (similar to marriages) start with the people involved, and public recognition of the bond forged between you is just that…

Approaching living with someone with anything less in your mind is a farce.

1. With my family (mum, dad, sister)
2. By myself
3. With my ex-girlfriend Lisa (just for 3 weeks whilst she was looking for an apartment in Umeå).
4. With two girls from university (got away with a really cheap rent for those 6 months).
5. With a friend from university (a guy).

...that I completely missed out adding this goal. My girlfriend from Bristol in England is going to move in with me here in Sweden in September this yearm, and I’m very excited!

...at some stage to live with my boyfriend, Erik. That will be very fun, especially since right now we live in different countries. Of course, I’m sure at some point the novelty of saying “look, we’re in the same home! And no one’s leaving!” will wear off, but it’ll still be great :)

It makes me smile to think of how it could be, it’s something to look forward to, but again, with time scale, it’s hard to know when I’ll complete this. The vision is nice for now :) I know it won’t always be good, especially people’s bad habits, but if it wasn’t a good feeling too, no one would live with anyone…right?

They say you should never live with friends, because we all have little habits, that don’t matter in a friendship, but when you share a home, become so annoying you’re afraid you may fall out about it. So this one’s still very ambiguous. I know I’ll live with someone at some point, and it’ll be an experience, but I’m not sure how I’ll fare just yet :) only time will tell.

I do however, think it is important to live alone for a while.

This may happen the same time as moving out, you never know.
