On its own lifehood
February 17, 2009Who wants to live alone? In our couple-oriented society, some people don’t want to live alone. They believe that a person can’t obtain a balanced and happy life when he or she treads the path of life all by him or herself.
Leading a single life has been fashion in some part of the globe, especially in Western countries. Living life alone is regarded as an opportunity to know one’s self better. It’s a way to commune with one’s self in privacy, and gain insights on what one wants in life without any pressure being exerted by somebody.
A friend who has been living alone for ten years now relates the wondrous things she found out from being single. “I’ve learned to respect myself, define who I am in a cleaver perspective, and hitch my wagon to the stars to pursue new, creative and enjoyable experiences without the pressure of another person,” she says.
“In living alone,” says my friend Hannah May Perez “there is complete freedom. It gives one the opportunity to experience the joys of being free. It allows one’s self for a wide variety of experiences. People who live alone have found rare form of personal security. They are able to rely upon themselves entirely. They have the freedom to mange their time and their lives in any way they chose.”
Hannah adds: living alone is looking to yourself, being able to depend on yourself, and being on your own. Some people opted for BN relationships or Better Than Nothing no matter how unproductive or unfulfilling these relationships are. They cannot imagine themselves living alone, and they don’t have the guys and heart to face the anxiety and fear of living alone.
Advocates of single life hood believe that these apprehensions will simply pass away like any storm in life. They explain, way like any storm in life. The explain, “There are man ways of finding a happy, rewarding life alone. All it takes is a single step at a time.”
