Living alone

living alone taught me responsibility,

responsibility for my own well-being.

I learnt to take care of bills, health and surroundings,

I became more independent and self-reliant,

I learnt how to make decisions on my own and solve problems,

I became more confident, more resilient.

living alone made me more creative,

I tried every recipe I had in mind,

most were a disaster but oh well.

I decorated my space in new ways every time I felt like it

it was my little haven and I loved it.

I explored knew hobbies, who knew I could paint,

I even lernt how to play the guitar.

with solitude came self-reflection

the alone times are the best part.

honestly, wish I started living alone sooner.
