I Spend a Lot of Time By Myself
I moved out of home once I finished my university degree; work required that I relocate.
For the first few years of my working life, I spent time living with flatmates who happened to be fairly good friends. My work meant I had a lot of contact with people, and contact in fairly intense situations.
During my last years in that career path, I moved again for work, further away from family and friends. This time I lived by myself, and the adjustment was made quite easy by the fact that the demands of the job were getting ever more intense.
Over the years, I'd also drifted away from my university friends.
So when I quit my job, I basically became an urban hermit.
My only regular contact with people of any sort these days is with buying things from shops, otherwise I spend all my time alone.
And you know, it's really quite lovely, most of the time. People create a lot of noise, and fuss, and complications.
That said, I don't want to live the rest of my life like this. But there's nothing wrong with it for a period of time. I've learned a lot in the space it's given me.
