Girl of the house

I really want my own space. Partly because I want to try my interior decorating skills and talent (if I even have an ounce in me), and to revel in independence. I notice I am great alone - but that does not mean I hate company. I think I might even need it because:

1) I'm afraid to sleep alone in a dark house,

2) I'm a heavy sleeper that even if you break my window I'm still in dreamland (it happened for real, unfortunately),

3) I can't smell leaking gas,

4) I can't fry a whole fish without wearing gloves, a cardigan, and some protective headgear (I do this. I really do.)

But I know there are solutions for that. Why I really want my own space is because no one will lecture me about my clutter - which comes with my career/job/inclinations! Boxes and piles of paper and fabrics and accessories and clothes. They may look like a mess to some eyes, but I am not kidding when I say I know exactly where which thing is underneath my "messy" stuff. Everything is chaos only when someone lovingly organizes them. Sorry, but I don't appreciate. It's even this reason that I think I'm doing a favor for the people I live with. Hahaha

Also because if I find something out of order (a backpack on a dining table, an unmade bed, a box of chocolates in the fridge only to find it empty, so and so), I'm not going to freak out and lecture until the topic becomes environmental awareness and consciousness. If something's out of order, it probably will be okay because I am the only one who will cause it. If it's my fault, I will fix it, clean it, put it away.

I watch TV in a low volume usually, and if it's bedtime I could really use some quiet. It doesn't happen very often where I am because people are wide awake at night and crickets chirp in the morning and afternoon.

Won't you agree that without people breathing behind your neck while you're doing something, you're actually making more progress? If there's someone around, you'll usually rely on them to do the work. Of course, from time to time we do need help, and you're a diva if you don't lend a hand yourself or clean after your crap. But really, when it's my conscience and I left alone, we make great partners.

PS Another pro of living alone: the food you buy for yourself and get excited to eat yourself won't end up into someone else's mouth!!!! Unless it's the garden gnome's mouth - but that will never happen because if I had my own yard, GGs will be banned!
