Do you know how many people live alone in our country? Yes, yes, I ask, how many people do you think live alone in Turkey? Sir? Have you got any guesses? Then let me immediately satisfy your curiosity by saying that 3.1 million people live alone. In another saying; 4% of the country’s population enjoy living alone.
Are you enjoying it? Do you live alone? Of course! What else would it be? Or did you think living alone was a pathetic thing or something? Did you think that it was a bad situation for a person not to have one waiting at home, to sit and eat alone every night, to turn around in the huge bed? If so, I can safely say that after what you hear now, you will look enviously at those who live alone. Because right now we will talk about how fun, how awesome, and what an enviable privilege it is to be a “desolate man”.
Here are the advantages of solitude that will make you dream of living alone:
- You Can Enjoy The Silence!
Those who live in crowded houses know. It’s not crowded though! The situation I will talk about can be easily observed even in houses where two people live. Okay okay! I’m talking about noise! From the noise that brings people to the point of madness when necessary, scratching their ears, and sometimes even a reason for insanity! These are the possibilities I have mentioned, situations where everyone has the risk of encountering, except those who live alone! So, dear reader, if you live alone and complain about your situation, you should think about what I just said before complaining again. Because the silence you have is a privilege that countless people cannot even dream of!
- You Decorate Your Home The Way You Want!
If you live alone, you don’t need to ask someone’s opinion or submit to someone’s wishes when decorating your home. Only you and only you decide where the coffee table should stand, how high the TV should be mounted, where your bed should be facing, and more. You are not headed by a parent, not a very knowledgeable wife, or a lover who pervers on everything. That’s why; You can decorate your home in any way you want and change it whenever you want.
- You Won’t Have To Endure Anyone!
You never have to put up with anyone’s whim. You can talk on the phone for hours, play games all day long, listen to music all night, leave the toilet lid open, and sleep soundly in front of the television. In short; You can do whatever you want, however you want. Because there is nobody beside you, in your region, in your corner, that you have to take your whim.
- You Manage Your Budget Better!
Because you are alone! Because you don’t have someone with you to share your budget with! Or you should have a look! Or you can knock on your door right away when you get stuck! You can’t say, “I’m a little stuck this month, you paid my bill”, and for all these
reasons, you stretch your feet according to your quilt. Because you adjust your income and expenses according to yourself, you are much more successful in personal finance than others. You also enjoy another advantage of living alone. Of course, I should add that you should not go into such weather immediately.
- You Spend More Time With Your Loved Ones!
Because you will find more time to listen to yourself. This allows you to understand your true values and spend more time with your loved ones. So you experience a kind of “awakening”. You will understand how important your family, friends and relatives are to you, and you will see the critical difference between spending 24 hours with them and not sharing anything and spending 2-3 hours full. As a matter of fact, this is a fact that countless households living together cannot discriminate.
- Bathroom belongs only to you!
Long live bathroom freedom! Especially in the morning! Okay, many homes now have more than one bathroom and toilet; But this does not mean that “nobody is waiting for bath-toilet line nowadays”. We don’t have to take turns, though. After all, we’re talking about the advantages of living alone here. And you are definitely very lucky in terms of bathroom-toilet belonging. When you want to enjoy yourself, there is no one knocking on your door, turning off the light and annoying you to get out, or shouting “You never think about the bill, how many minutes have you turned on the water?
- You Make Better Decisions!
Do you know why? Because you have plenty of time to stay with yourself and think through your decisions. There is nobody around to confuse you with sentences such as “I wonder if you do this, look like this, if you do this, I think you should choose the other”. Okay, sometimes you may want to have someone with you for ideas. However, you rarely experience these moments. And when you really need an idea, you can hug your phone or take your jacket and go to the person you want.
- You Will Be More Successful In Realizing Your Talents!
You get to know your desires, abilities, weaknesses, in short, yourself much better. Because you always do things alone. Or you can’t! It does not matter! After all, you win when you do something or when you don’t. Because you see your talent in one and your weakness in another. You gain the experience of “getting to know yourself” that most people living in crowded environments do not have.
- If you like it messy, you can mess up it as you wish!
Chances are, you don’t have a savvy mother in your home who says “she likes messy”! Or your spouse! Or your older sister, your father, your lover, your roommate! And how many people like someone else’s mess anyway? Even if the person likes messy, they only love their own mess! So, dear readers, you will understand, if you live alone, you have the freedom to distribute it however you want. Because no matter how much you distribute it, you will not encounter someone waiting for you to clear up with a tong in hand.
- You Can Walk At Home The Way You Want!
If you want, with the socks you wear all day, if you want your pajamas, if you want, with your white tank top or nude! If you live alone, no one will interfere with your clothes or your lack of clothes. When you wake up in the morning, you do not have to get dressed to get your clothes in another room, you can walk around all the rooms as you get out of bed. You can come out of the bathroom in your bathrobe easily, go to the living room just like that, or eat your meal in the kitchen. One of the biggest advantages of living alone is the freedom of clothing or clothing!
- Your Self-Confidence Is Peaked!
Okay, you may have some self-esteem issues in the early days of living alone. But in a short time, it leaves this situation on the contrary, and your self-confidence reaches the highest level without exaggeration. Because you are supporting a house on your own, you are surviving on your own. You pay your bills yourself, meet all the needs of the house on your own, and maybe you can easily handle things you thought you could never do (repairs, cooking, washing dishes, cleaning, giving the mouths of troubled neighbors).
- You Can Invite Any Creature You Want To Your Home!
Yes, another advantage of living alone is that you can invite any creature you want to your home! So you can invite anyone you want to your home. You can feed any animal you want (I’m talking about all kinds of animals that can be petted by all kinds). Or you can put the type of plant you want in your living space. Here, who, what, and how you will get into your home is entirely up to you!
- The TV Remote Has Only You!
If you live alone, you will not have to enjoy someone’s match or series. The TV remote, which can be described as a symbol of home domination, is only in your hands! When you get up to the toilet, you don’t feel the need to hide the remote somewhere, you know that no one will try to take it from you. This is definitely among the most special privileges you can experience.
- You will have the freedoms such as squeezing the toothpaste from anywhere you want, leaving your dirty plate in the middle!
Especially the action of squeezing the toothpaste in the middle, which is one of the reasons for the stereotype between couples! Yes! If you live alone, you can squeeze the toothpaste wherever you want. Is this the only one? You can leave your plate on the table, put a glass on each coffee table, throw your dirt in the middle of the room, and remove the dining table after 3 days if you want. You will understand; You can do all the things that may be the main argument for those living in the same house. Because you are as free in your living space as William Wallace (Braveheart – Mel Gibson)!
