1. When you’re living alone, everyone thinks you’re enjoying because you’re no longer under your parent’s rules but you’re really just suffering.

2. You realise that paying rent is only one of the many things you will be spending money on.

3. You’re too tired to pick up after yourself but you realise there’s no one to do it for you.

4. You get so lonely you start talking to yourself.

5. And you get so bored you actually pick up a hobby.

6. Cooking for one is always annoying and your food always goes to waste.

7. If you don’t cook you’ll have to either have food delivered (just one more thing to spend your money on) or drink cornflakes or garri to sleep.

8. There’s no one to take care of you when you’re sick.

9. And when you hear a sound in the middle of the night there’s no one to go check it for you.

If you think living alone is bad, just see what it is like to be female, single AND live alone:
