Before starting my job I had no real experience of being alone. At that time life was lived according to family rules and care and there was no need to worry about the future. There was never a need to think about food, clothes, housework. It is normal to be with family many responsibilities are invisibly transferred to others and you get used to a comfortable life without knowing it.
But when I started living alone for work I gradually had to face reality. At first everything seemed messy. When to go to the market which day to wash which clothes to hang out in the sun these small things became a big challenge. Now no one reminds me anymore I have to remember everything myself. Even if I get a holiday I can no longer sleep peacefully until noon like before and responsibilities start only in the morning.
The biggest change has come in my cooking habits. At one time it seemed impossible for me to cook but being alone that impossible task has become possible. There is a kind of self satisfaction in eating food cooked by my own hands that I have never felt before. I have gradually learned to understand that life does not just revolve around dreams and plans, but rather people develop through these small daily tasks.
During this time of being alone I have talked to myself a lot. I have seen my own weaknesses and also discovered my own capabilities. I have had to come out of the thought that someone will solve the problem and find the solution myself. This process is what makes people mature and responsible.
This is why it seems that at some point in life being a bachelor or being alone is very necessary. It is not just changing places it is a kind of life education. Family is certainly the biggest strength in life but the experience of being alone prepares people for real life. This time of learning to move on by yourself creates a strong foundation for the future.
