the ultimate perk of living by yourself: you can eat cake with a fork without having to get a slice each time, just dig right into it. the benefits: (1) not having to clean a plate everytime you eat, you can even just leave a fork in it to use; (2) you can eat as much or as little as you want without having to measure the "right" slice; (3) the satisfying feeling of exercising your free will.
this might seem mundane or gross or whatever, but hey, if it's just you at home nobody's gonna judge ๐
