The advent of the year of solitude
The strange truth is that, by living by myself, I have started to become the person I always wanted to be. My apartment is metiulously clean. I am a great student, who is (for the first time in her life) spending a good amount of time reviewing the class notes for that day. I make my bed everyday and never let dishes sit out unwashed (shocking for those I have lived with). I rent movies for my own enjoyment and watch them alone. I spend hours in bookstores, lusting after books, studying, and hoping that no one talks to me. I know this sounds depressing, but it is something that I have always wanted - to be content and happy to be alone. At times the solitude is painful and sharp, but it is beginning to take on nature of a down comforter that I want to surround myself with quite frequently.
