I have been living on my own for over a year now and the
experience has been life changing for me. I am not actually living in the
apartment alone, I'm living with a friend's sister but we barely know each other
so you can consider us just acquaintances. We each have our own
room and have opposite work schedules that we literally don't see each other.
Nevertheless, I've learned a lot and found appreciation for things I usually
take for granted.
A lot of young adults nowadays seek the freedom of leaving
the nest and taking flight onto the real world. It's great to have the mindset
to look and experience freedom but take heed that that freedom also entails huge
responsibility. There are a lot of factors to consider before moving out and
trying to live it out alone.
