My Home: Solitary Adjustment

Objective

I currently live in a studio-type unit in one of the richest cities in the Metro. I have lived her for almost three years and since I work nearby, it is more convenient for me to commute and go around the city. It is surrounded by restaurants, local service shops and a handful of malls. Living near my workplace have saved me a few hours of traffic jams and commute inconveniences.


Sentimental

Living alone is a way for you to test your maturity. I longed to be an independent young adult so living without my family was a big deal. I have always been the baby of the family and after I moved, I believe their perspective of me changed too. Living apart from them was difficult but it is a process of maturity and in maturity I learned the power of solitude. That's where my new strength comes from.

Frustration

After leaving university, I have always wanted to live alone. Far from my childhood home, far from my nagging parents. I imagined things that I saw on TV. A young adult braving the world with positivity but it's not quite as it seems. Little by little, day by day, I felt alone. Every day seems like a routine and my positivity being continuously sucked into a wormhole. Now on my mid-twenties, I want to go back home and from there start anew and hope for a better journey.
