This is such a lovely piece! I wish you had written some more of it 🌸 I think my best year of adulthood was when I lived completely by myself in a cute 1BHK in Indiranagar. I started going to therapy the same year and realised how much I depended on others for my own peace. This year was a lesson on solitude and it made me value spending time with myself. I am an out and out extrovert and it's been 3 years since that year. I don't think I can live completely by myself again (for one, I am too scared to sleep by myself in a house) but I have learnt to channel the hidden introvert in me through that year. Someday, I will have a tiny studio where I will read, write and spend a few nights on my own (ala Carrie from Sex And The City) but for now, I am happy sharing a home with someone for sure ☺️
