When we were kids, our parents had to approve almost everything we did.
We had to finish our homework before we could watch our favorite programs.
We also had to be in bed at a specific time.
When leave the house, we had to ask permission or have someone older to accompany us.
It is ironic because once we grow up; we realize that being a child is not so bad after all.
Those were the times when a scoop of ice cream could erase all of our pain and problems.
None of us has an option.
We cannot stay young forever.
There will come a time when we have to move out and find a living for our own.
Living by yourself has its advantages and disadvantages.
One of its advantages is having your own space.
You can decorate it any way you like.
You do not have to worry about getting home late as well because you know that there is no one waiting for you.
Living alone is also great for those who work on shifts, like the nurses.
They can rest at any time of the day because no one will disturb them.
Another advantage of living alone is that you can express yourself more freely.
If you want to buy furniture, you can buy it right away without worrying if other members of the family will approve of it.
You can also do the chores at your own time and pace.
If you do not want to wash the dishes, you can leave it in the sink for a while.
Also, no one will demand that you finish your shower in fifteen minutes.
Although living alone is great, there are also down moments.
You will particularly feel alone when you have a bad day and no one is there to comfort you.
It is also frustrating if you do not have someone to share your happiness.
Living alone is quite a challenge too.
Although you have undisturbed sleep, you will not get immediate help when needed.
If you are running late, no one will help you prepare your things.
If you are the type of person who forgets the whereabouts of his things, you will surely miss your mother.
It also feels empty not to have someone when you go home.
However, this is a matter of choice and circumstances.
In order to be happy with what you have, appreciate the things that you can do.
Living alone is not bad.
You get to do the things you want when you want.
It is wonderful yet sometimes sad at the same time.
However, all life situations are like this.
If you live with your family, it will not ensure that you will always live harmoniously.
If you have a partner, you will not have fun moments all the time.
Appreciate what you have and you will surely enjoy living on your own.
