Do you ever feel like living alone all by yourself .. by your rules .. ??

Staying home alone for a while is great! You get to do all those things that you said, and decide everything by yourself. i lived alone for 8 years. In many ways it was great. I have a lot of friends and never felt lonely. I still prefere to have my partner though. even if he buggs me alot sometimes, and do stupid things, and try to make me go along, I would not want him gone. he helps me alot, he is kind and nice most of the time. I still can decide a lot of things - I just have someone to make the decitions together with.

This past summer I did a little experiment. I did just what you are describing. I slept when I wanted (during the daytime because hot weather makes me feel sick). I woke up when I wanted (in the evening when it was cooler). I ate whatever and whenever I wanted. I unplugged my phone (if I felt like talking to someone, I would contact them)....it was wonderful. The people around me didn't like it too much but I'd never felt better. My experiment is over but I still do many of the same things. Each person has to decide for themselves what is right for them in life. This is what works for me.
