Living Alone

In a few days, I would be living in a space that I wanted though headaches and pressure got in the way, I am happy with my decision of leaving my current place. It's been a struggle of thinking over how it work but finally I am making strides to be off to a new great place. Now, I'm packing up my things, looking into ways of how can I clean my old place and handover the door to the new people who will use it.

I have been wanting to live to this place for years and with all the jokes and laughs of me staying in my new place, it has become a reality. It was a roller coaster ride with how I would be planning to pay it up and enjoy a good place all by myself. It has been an awesome ride until now, but better has yet to come. As for my old place, thank you for keeping me safe and sound, but I got to do what I gotta do.

Starting from my college years, I wanted to be separated from my family and living on my own. It was great as both of my parents were supportive in my decision and had given me a place near to my university. Then when I started to work, I looked again for a place near my workplace and it was such an experience. Getting lost while looking for my place, going back to our home on weekends, and just enjoying my stay with my housemates, who usually are not in the house.

Then when I left the country, I had housemates and roommates along the way. Stayed in hotels and hostels for work for a few months and return to my humble abode. It's been crazy. For almost a year now, I have been living alone in a 3-bedroom flat that initially was rented out by my colleagues until they left the company. But, it's been a drag in my flat by maintaining a huge house all by myself.

So, before 2016 ended I challenged myself to move out, planned it out and now it is really happening. A few hiccups, stressing over my budget, but all came in together and now waiting to move out in my new place, buy new furniture and happily live in a small but awesome place. Now, I can invite my friends to come and be glad to show off where I live.

What makes me happy living alone? It's the freedom I get. It's the things I can do in the house, it's the quiet in my place, I can be as clean or as messy as I am. It's the serenity it brings to my life. No restrictions, no pretensions, no headaches in dealing with other people's attitudes and problems.
