10 Awesome Things People Living Alone Know Too Well

Living alone can be scary, but everything can actually be fun when you live solo. Privacy, authority, and freedom are yours when you own the house you are staying at. Your house is your kingdom and you can do anything you want. Go ahead, leave a pile of clothes at the end of your bed. No one will annoy you about it.

Here are 10 awesome things only people living alone understand:

  1. Sleeping is the best

No one wakes you up because it is 3 in the afternoon already. You can sleep for as long as you please. No plans for the weekend? Sleep. Got nothing to do on a Friday night? Sleep. You have the freedom to sleep whenever you want… wherever you want.

  1. Your favorite food is all yours

No one eats the food you have been thinking about all day! The bag of potato chips in your fridge and the box of Margherita pizza you bought on your way home are all yours. In fact, everything inside the fridge belongs to you. Also, no one questions your food choices. Now you can even eat breakfast food for dinner or binge on Nutella and ice cream at night. Your diet is your only setback - or not.

  1. Clothes are not mandatory

You never have to wear pants or any clothes inside your home. You sleep for hours, eat whatever you want, and hang out in the living room with no clothes on. Total freedom! The only things you to need to be mindful of are the windows.

  1. Talking to yourself is absolutely normal

Okay, let us make it clear - you are normal (hopefully). Who would have thought talking to yourself on a daily routine could be quite an entertaining thing to do? No one argues with your opinion why your favorite football team should make it to finals or how the public transportation system in your city sucks.

  1. You can sing as loud as you want

No one stops you when you are off-key because you are your only audience. You can even add a rap part to your favorite old song just to make it hip and cool. It does not matter how loud or bad you sing; you can always sing at the top of your lungs and feel proud after belting that high note.

  1. Long showers are the best

No one shouts at you when you spend too much time in the bathroom. If you feel like doing an encore during your shower concert, you can. You spend too much time in the shower that you could already come up with a book about daydreams and possible solutions to improve the realities of life.

  1. Spontaneous hangouts happen often

Inviting people over for dinner or a game of backgammon is never a problem. Silence and solitude are incredible, but a spontaneous hang out with the people you value is greater. You know you enjoy the company of good friends after a long solitary rest.

  1. No one judges your movie preferences

Every night can be a movie night. You watch what you like without the disapproval of others. There is no need for you to hide those tears when the lead actor dies. You own the house; you decide what movie to play.

  1. No one watches your every move

You freely do anything you want. You do not need to go to the comfort room to pick your nose, fart, or scratch a private part. When you burp, you make sure it is louder than the last one. Apparently, you can be as gross as you would like.

  1. Learning new things is actually fun

You are on your own. When the roof has a leak, you figure out how to stop it. Living alone is a test of independence. You get to learn new things and be good at them eventually. Fun is when you learn new skills that make life better.

We can never discount the fact that living alone opens the door to challenges, but the perks far exceed them.
