My Newfound Freedom

Let me state it for the benefit of those who don't know it - I am on my own now. Ya, after living for more than 2 decades with my parents am out in the wild for the past few months. Not a great thing, but then it is something I am really enjoying. I started off by living in an apartment with 2 of my collegues. From the beginning of this month, I am on my own. It is a dream come true. I have always wanted to live on my own - to have my own space (not just a room!!), to own that space and do all that I want to do.
There are a few things that are incomprehensible for some people. Quite often I get questions like What do you do all day over the weekend?, do you stay quiet all day?, don't you get bored? Don't you want company? and so on...
For me, staying on my own is a great thing to do. I would rather have my own space and live on my own than live with someone else and share my space. I love to go to a silent home - a place where I can do anything I wanna do, anytime, and anyway
You might even think I am a loner - at times I do think so myself. I know that not many people can tolerate silence - or rather they can't be by themselves. They need the company of others irrespective of whether those around them are likeminded, and so on. But then, they would be likeminded coz ll of these people would not want to be left alone. I would say it is quite important to be comfortable with yourself and do things on your own. For me, that is how I think I grow - by doing things on my own and not depending on others. Does that shout Individualistic? Ya, I think that is something good.
So, when someone finds it odd that I can stay on my own, I find it odd that someone can't be comfortable being on their on their own. How can you be always dependent on another's presence? How can you not be happy with yourself?
As for me, I am enjoying my newfound freedom - enjoying to the limits...:)
