Being single and living alone is good practice for if you’re ever divorced

No I am nowhere near being married but I was just thinking of the possibility of getting married in the future and then divorced and maybe you’re not too keen on moving in with your friends with families and lives of their own and maybe you have kids yourself and they are all grown up and you need a place of your own. I have been cooking for myself and cleaning my own dishes in my “kitchen” (which is a Polly pocket sized oven and not much else) for almost four years but on god the character building I’m experiencing is god tier revelatory. Like I got me and we gonna be doing this just us our whole life, honey

Being alone

I used to hate both spending time by myself and being single. would do whatever I could to avoid it. It made me feel unimaginably anxious Years, lots of therapy, and some really wonderfully healing friendships later, I not only enjoy spending time alone, but have found a level of peace that gives me much higher standards for my romantic relationships, rather than needing to fill the silence

living alone recs

been living alone since 2022 and i’ve come to enjoy it a lot but it def takes some adjusting. here’s some stuff that’s helped me appreciate it and also alleviate some of the downsides: 1. DECORATE!!! you no longer have to share a space, go wild with making it your own! put all your pretty lil things out on display, get some art for the walls, adorn your room with personal effects. your apartment is no longer simply your place of residence, it is an extension of yourself 2. Organize and maintain the space the only person who has to deal with your messes is yourself, but don’t let this make your mess tolerance go down. keep your space orderly and functional and enjoy the ritual of keeping your space maintained. if your space devolves to squalor, you will be the one to suffer. don’t let your space be neglected and then become a hostile environment to yourself. keep neat on the reg and treat your future self every once in a while with a deep clean. 3. Get out the house!! one benefit of living with roommates/family is having them provide reasons to be out an about. living alone means you’ll have to make your own reasons. if you’re a homebody like myself, there can be a big temptation to spend all your time in blissful solitude. but the line from solitude to isolation can be a fine one, so make sure that as well as inhabiting your space you also inhabit your locale. get to know your new neighborhood and find reasons to regularly be out of your space. make your space where you come to be recharged and renewed and not your default spot, you’ll appreciate it more that way. 4. pee with the door open who’s gonna stop you?????

i am assuming…

You are going to go to so many places in roma/condesa. So my advice as a mexico city born and raised: go somewhere else too… Some things I would recommend doing: - soccer game at either estadio azteca or CU - centro histórico is a must and makes me crazy mad some people just don’t set foot there… - xochimilco - mercado de plantas de coyoacán - some other classic/ beautiful neighborhoods to visit: narvarte, escandon, san rafael, santa maría la ribera and del valle. have fun!
