Living on my own

When I think about the thing that triggered my living away from home, I realize how good things have turned out for me. If not for that unfortunate incident, I would probably continue to live under the constant scrutiny of grumpy retired parents. It's also fortunate for me to be allowed to stay in their condo unit that is very accessible to where I work.

While I would have initially preferred to live alone, I guess having my brother for a roommate isn't so bad after all. Especially now that he's gone for a few months for a foreign job assignment, I can't help but be a little sad sleeping and waking up alone in an empty unit. It was alright for a year or so. Now, I admit it does get lonely.

Good thing Toti comes around often, hangs out at night to keep me company until it’s time for me to go to bed. And at times, stays over so I can wake up in his arms to start a new day. It’s the best feeling in the world! I really can’t wait to spend each and every waking moment with him.
