Why Living Alone Is The Best Decision You'll Ever Make, In 7 Relatable Steps!

Living alone by yourself for the first time is a milestone a lot of people want to achieve. And this step isn't easy either, nor is it for everyone.

Because living alone is not for the rebel but for the revolutionary individual who has decided to take full ownership of their life.

Sure it has its downsides. It's going to be a bit of a shock if you are accustomed to coming home to family, flatmates or roommates. You're literally on your own.

But that's the thing: you're literally on your own. And once you do start living by yourself, you'll never look back.

1. You don¡¯t have to wait in line to use your own bathroom.

Imagine you wake up late for work but decide to have a shower regardless only to find your roommate inside. Or, your partner just hopped in for a bath and you really need to pee. Waiting in line to use your own bathroom sucks big time.

When you live solo, you'll only ever have to hold your pee when you have guests over. Otherwise, the bathroom is always available to you. Plus, you never have to worry about keeping your bathroom door locked!

2. Everyday is a naked day.

When you live alone, everyday can be naked day. There's nothing more relaxing than knowing you have complete and total freedom to walk around naked without being caught by your roommates or by your partner when you're just not in the mood. The fact that clothing is optional when you live alone, is one of the best reasons to live alone.

3. You can now officially recover from hangovers in peace.

Tenor

The above probably sounds like an oxymoron: when is a hangover ever peaceful?

But. But... if you live alone, at least you don't have to worry about your roommate looking down on you in disgust while you lay on the floor in the fetal position. Or worry about mom walking up to you while you cuddle your puke.

4. There¡¯s only one decision maker in the house: you!

Tenor

When you live alone, you are going to decide EVERYTHING. This includes all decor decisions, keeping pets, getting a gaming console or even deciding to not buy a bed but a comfy couch. You get to have the final say. This should be really comforting because in your life where everything is beyond your control these little decisions are all yours.

5. It's the end of obligatory hang outs.

Tenor

When you start to live alone, you are absolutely under no obligation to hang out or chill with people you don¡¯t want to.

If you don¡¯t feel like hanging out with someone, you can just go home and enjoy personal time. And nothing should make you happier than heading home to no drama, no people crowding your drawing room eating the chips you paid for.

6. You can dance like nobody's watching because nobody is.

Don't act like dancing in front of the mirror isn't something you do anymore. Sometimes the best way to gear up for a night out is to make yourself a drink, turn on some music, and dance off beat while deciding what to wear. Living alone allows you to keep the volume as loudly as you want without feeling guilty or being shouted at. If this is not great, I don¡¯t know what is.

7. Having super loud sex is totally okay.

Tenor

Living alone means never having to wake up at 4am when your flatmate is having sex in the other room. Living alone ALSO means getting to have unapologetic, loud sex anytime and in any corner of your tiny but magical apartment.
