About

There’s a lot of discussion around solo travel, navigating public spaces alone, and being single or unmarried. It still surprises me sometimes that people have questions about living independently.

I've always been quite comfortable with solitude, and I now realize that my life experiences have shaped that comfort and put me in a unique position to share my perspective.

Growing up in my grandparents' home, in a neighborhood full of older residents, I had limited interaction with other kids. While some visited, I was one of the few children who lived permanently on the block. Without regular playmates and surrounded by middle-aged grandparents, I had to learn how to keep myself entertained.

This carried through my teenage years and into adulthood. Solitude has become such a significant part of my life that I can tell when I need time to recharge from socializing. I can literally feel when I’m "peopled out"!

But solitude isn’t just about entertaining myself. Over time, I've come to understand who I am, what I like, and what I don’t. This self-awareness has improved my relationships with others.

There’s so much noise out there telling people that being alone is undesirable, or that life can't be fully enjoyed without someone else. I'm here as living proof that this couldn't be further from the truth.

I created this site to share my thoughts, experiences, and insights, hoping to inspire others to embrace and enjoy their own company.
