It's been a solid good 2 month I'm living alone now. Things are not as bad as some people might think. I used to live in boarding school, college, uni and stuff but never really did i ever been alone. I was surrounded by friends most of the time in my life and now it is time for me to find and carve my own path. Here are 3 (in my opinion) perks of being alone.
1. Time move slower
Travelling through time? No, its just that when you live alone and nobody is telling what to do, you start to think for yourself and observe your surroundings. Flying birds, moving trees (nope not treebeard), sound of the ocean all seem to be noticed. That is when time move at your will.
2. You get to step back and and look at things from an overall perspective
Whether it be politics, study, work, or community, without having someone to constantly propagate message through your head, you get to experience an alone time with your thoughts and mind. In psychology it is easy for a person to be influence by external factor (media *cough*). You get to debate with yourself on certain things or issue and it will lead you to your own understanding of a certain topic. Exercise for the brain.
3. You start to think that life is more than having fun.
When you are alone, you start to reflect about the important things in life. Its not about having big house, fast car, or even a fancy party. Whether its about giving back to the community or making other people happy, you yourself get to choose what life path that you want.
