learn to live alone

I’ve always felt like one of my best attributes is my ability to live sincerely and have often found myself angry when alone that this gift is left wasted. Some people seem fine with living their life without someone and for a long time, I tried to retrain my brain, but I simply do not think I can be happy or content unless I have another half.

So far this isn’t too bad. It also forces me to be more social with people I don’t normally hang out with, cause I don’t like being alone for dinner.

If I survive a whole year like this, I think then i’ll be able to check this goal off.

I’m working my way towards getting a place by myself for next school year…apparently this goal might actually happen.

I am making progress on this. The nights are getting easier and I cry a lot less.

I have never lived alone in my life – either living with my parents or roommates. I am either not allowed or feel uncomfortable to invite friends over for a visit, unlike the way that I used to do when I was a kid. I never had my privacy, freedom, or peacefulness. I’m always forced to live in the way others asked me to. I really want to find out what my life really looks like without the ideas from the others: how good/bad it can be. Meanwhile, I feel sorry to live conformforably while forcing my roommates/parents to live by my standard. It’s just time to live by myself.
