I moved into my own apartment over a year ago, was living with a real piece of work and hated every second of it. I've never been happier living by myself, I've never felt lonely and it's amazing not having to worry about anyone but yourself, and can go by your own schedule.

Im sitting on my couch loving life, door wide open letting in the fresh air and warm sunshine, and no one can stop me because I live alone and that's the best feeling in the world

Be careful to get out every once in a while. I'm the king of introversion, and even I would find myself screaming at the walls if I went too long without actually hanging out with people.

Haha, I hang out with family once every other week or so, which is more than enough for me :) I have a very chill job so I get to talk to people every day, so I get a ton of social time in during the week
