Living by yourself or with a bunch....which one do you prefer?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I’d go bananas if I had to live alone. I had an apartment of my own for a few months before hubby and I got married, and I hated it. Cooking for one is depressing. Eating alone even more so. My dream (that I’m comfortable knowing will probably never happen), is to build a big communal home for my family and several close friends and their families. That way, we’d always have each other to take care of, and to take care of us.
