At such moments, I always think about how cool it would be if there was someone nearby who would just take and help. Not even because it is physically difficult. But because it is like a little magic - when there is a person who shares the usual routine with you. Sometimes I can do it myself, but when someone is nearby - it is a different feeling. Warmer 🥰.
But living alone is also about small victories. For example, I finally learned how to change light bulbs and figure out wires. Who would have thought that it would inspire you so much? Then you stand there with this new light bulb and smile, as if you just won a marathon. And then you go drink tea and feel like a superhero 🦸♀️.
But there are also evenings when you just sit in the kitchen, drink cocoa and listen to the clock ticking. And it becomes a little empty. You want someone to look over your shoulder and say something funny, just like that. But instead, you look at the mug and think that it is your best company today ☕️.
I think that loneliness is not always about sadness. Sometimes it is about freedom and about learning to be strong. It's just that at some moments you really want this little everyday magic nearby. When someone helps you move furniture, tighten a screw, or just share the silence. And suddenly you feel like the world has become a little more comfortable.
I wonder if you have those moments when an ordinary day suddenly becomes special just because there is someone nearby who helps with the simplest thing? 🤔
