Okay. Let's get down to business I've been living alone on my own For almost two years now live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada the views fantastic I have the CN tower out the window tip top tailors. I got the airport the island airport here I got the dog walkers in the baseball field down there. I'm on floor 24 and love it now living alone isn't for everybody Okay, it can come with some pretty intense loneliness. At least that's what people may think Living alone aren't you alone all the time? Don't you feel isolated? Do you live alone because you don't get along with other people? Do you live alone because you have some strange habits and like to pee on your mattress and rub feces on the walls feces on the walls? Well, here we're gonna talk about the five things the five best things about living on your own number one a Great part about living alone. Why you should live alone? Well, if you love music as much as I do then you'll know that when you live alone You can play whatever music you want at any time. Do you have some weird musical tastes that no roommate? No family member could possibly understand Because I do I love the bagpipes You know heart it is to find a roommate that would love waking up to the bagpipes Because I do I can play music while cooking dinner. I can play music while eating breakfast I can play music in the background while I'm editing all these videos. It's fantastic The place is yours number two This is huge and I didn't realize it would be such a big thing Until I moved out on my own and that's you can walk around naked I didn't have curtains for the longest time in this condo and I still walked around naked You have a building right across from me here people could clearly see my naked body You know they couldn't see my because it's a little little M&M, but they could see everything in my condo I finally got curtains and I'm still walking around naked. This is a huge thing even when I would come home from work I automatically just took my shirt off. It's very freeing women will take their bras off for men or for me You take your shirt off. It's fantastic. It is so freeing now living alone. That's a huge benefit You can walk around naked, you know if you're living with a girlfriend or boyfriend You know, maybe you can do that anyways, but if you're living with roommates or some other family member You can't walk around with your shit just hanging out benefit of living alone 100p number three you can turn your space into place cool saying right when you when you come into a new place Whether it be a house condo apartment room, whatever. It's a space. Okay. It's got four walls Maybe nothing else. We're living alone You can make that space into your own place So you want to hang up pictures of donkeys on the wall You can have 10 20 pictures of donkeys You want to put a donkey on the ceiling a picture of a donkey? You can do that You want to paint a wall here or you want to put some permanent marker on it? You can do that, right? You want to put a desk right here by the window so you can do your So you can do your work you can do that. Okay, turn the space into place What color do you want the walls you paint it the way you want to paint it? Do you want shag carpeting? Do you want an air a Persian rug? You can do that you can buy that turning space into place is what living alone is all about right? You get to decorate you get to organize you get to the cook the things you want you get to you know If you like Barney and you want to buy Barney sheets you can decorate your bed that way You like stuffed animals you litter them all over the place if you're a messy person Which I don't encourage but if you are well you can make your place messy and keep it that way you are Responsible to make your place yours number four We are taught and raised With the bathroom door closed Nobody dares you're supposed to shut it and lock it and whatever happens in that bathroom whatever goes on Behind those doors Is your business? And no one else will know about now when you live alone that rule somehow does not apply Your door is the apartment house or condo door that leads into it the bathroom door Doesn't matter anymore. You can keep that baby wide open and do your business It's a freeing feeling. We're all about expression on this channel, right? Express yourself by making the whole place into a bathroom That didn't sound right. Just try keeping the door open. It's pretty cool number five. It's where you left it When you live alone and you lose something or misplace something That's because you Put it somewhere that you don't know that's because you lost something when you live with other people It's like hey, have you seen this? Hey, I lost this. Did you move this? Hey, I keep the frying pan in this cupboard. Why is it in this cupboard when you live alone? If you left the frying pan in the drawer under the sink when you get back home That same frying pan is going to be in that drawer Underneath the sink just the way you left it if you peed on the couch and the stain Couldn't be removed. At least that's your pee stain. Okay? You made the mistake and it's yours to live with it's a very freeing feeling that what you do in your condo apartment house is Yours now in all seriousness Living alone is awesome. It is pretty damn cool. Now what you'll find on YouTube and I'll probably do another video is The worst things the top five worst things about living alone. Why I hate living alone. Why living alone sucks and Well, there's always two sides of the coin, right? Of course, there's benefits to living alone and of course there's benefits about living with other people We talk about costs. We talk about socialization. We talked about sharing meals talk about all sorts of things This video is just one of many probably about my own poisons of life and sharing what it's like living alone I think it's something everyone should do at one point in their life. I Really do you get to know the real you the you who's not always on The you who's not trying to impress people at all times of the day the you who may sit quietly Like right now with no distractions no TV on no nothing and not worrying about an interruption from someone.
