on living alone – thriving in a one-room cottage
While I am now married and no longer living alone, I look fondly upon my memories living in my little one room cottage. Each era of my life has had it’s own sets of challenges and joys, and while I’m in a new chapter now I wanted to look back and talk about what things helped me thrive living alone, which was not always easy to do. However, I really do think whether you live alone or with company it doesn’t really make a difference in regards to how you can grow and develop a new lifestyle. Each situation has limitations, but our spirits do not. Some things that helped my transition: always staying connected to friends or family (I was always very closely connected), being involved in my community, filling my home with love and peaceful thoughts, and improving my overall mindset – which is crucial when you spend a lot of time alone (at least for me, I did a lot of serious growing and maturing).
