I’ve never actually lived alone until about 7 years ago. At 52, I had just left an abusive relationship and was about to be on my own for the first time ever. And I’ll be honest, I wasn’t really looking forward to it much.

The Libra in me loves love and loves to be in a relationship. We don’t really like being alone. Throw in the fact that we suck at making decisions, it’s tough for us to live alone.

Or maybe that’s just me.

But in the last few years I’ve realized something that kinda surprised me. I kinda do like living alone. A lot as a matter of fact.

11 Things I love about living alone

So before we get into this list I just wanna say something right now. I’m sure there are lots of people who can do all these things below with a partner. Well kudos to you for having someone like that in your life. I’m happy for you, truly. 💕

Maybe this isn’t for you?

And then there’s the rest of us who will probably be able to relate.

Without further ado, and in no particular order of importance…
