I'm with you on this. 😃 I'm 64, live alone and wouldn't have it any other way now. 🤗

[@evaellenjoan]

That's awesome Sheila! I am so happy for you 🙏. Thank you for sharing with us

@@evaellenjoan Lucky you! its a blessing to live alone ,society pushes relationships as seen even in cartoons basically, humans don't need anyone else to complete them we are complete by ourselves.

[@evaellenjoan]

​@@dayytube Absolutely! Living alone can indeed be a blessing, offering a sense of independence and self-sufficiency. Thank you for sharing your perspective! 🌻

Hello Eva, I can relate 100% I am 63 from Canada. There are many women, like myself, who have been through a lot over the decades. I do not have children, my pets have passed away and my ex-husband ended our marriage almost 2 years ago. I also lost my job this past January. Being on my own has given me the freedom to decide what my next steps will be in my life. I moved out of the apartment I was renting for 12-1/2 years and I have given much of my things away. I am a pet sitter on the side, so I now have pet contracts up until mid-September. After that, I am moving provinces. Plus, I begin a new job next week, 100% remote, which means I can work from anywhere. One of my future goals is to volunteer at animal sanctuairies all over the world. Like you Eva, I love animals. I love them so much that I became vegan in February 2012. Being on my own, I have the freedom to live the way I am. I am not lonely. I am on my own. If it ever happens that I do "feel lonely" (which is rare), I will get together with a friend, do an activity on my own, or go somewhere where there are people and/or animals, and the loneliness subsides because of interacting with others. So, yes. I am grateful and happy to be on my own. It is not for everyone to want this lifestyle. We are all individuals with our own wants, needs & desires. What's important is to learn who we truly are, deep down inside ourselves, and to follow that path ❤️🙏

[@evaellenjoan]

Absolutely Roberta! 💙 Well said! We all have our story. We all have our past! We all have had experiences, some good, some less good! 😉🎈 Make sure to enjoy your life to the fulliest. Pst...I love Canada :)

I'm an extrovert, however I will not let anyone interfere with my desire for peace and quiet. In the last five years, as I learned what really occurred in our history and to our world, I found few people researching as I do. I also noticed I was depressed after being with shallow people. Being alone allows me to learn the truth and not have to hear stupid people's opinions that come from ignorance. Like-minded people are on the internet, and it is so much more interesting to me. Thanks for saying what needs to be said. I agree 100%.

[@evaellenjoan]

Hi L.G.! Thank you for your heartfelt message. It's inspiring to hear how you've found peace and deeper understanding through solitude. I'm glad the video resonated with you and reinforced the importance of meaningful connections and knowledge. The internet is a great place to find like-minded people and explore important topics. Your perspective enriches our community, and I appreciate your support! 🌟

[@teresaowens3300]

I am 63 and am don't like being married. I just ended a 10 year marriage due to adultery and I am having so much peace! I am an introvert.

[@evaellenjoan]

Teresa, it sounds like you've made a courageous decision to prioritize your peace and well-being. Ending a marriage due to such circumstances can be incredibly challenging, but it's wonderful to hear that you're finding peace and contentment in living alone. Being an introvert, having that space and solitude can be especially rejuvenating. Wishing you continued peace and happiness as you embrace this new chapter in your life. 🌻

[@cheryldee95]

We can live a real, unapologetic, authentic life when we live alone. For all of the reasons you’ve stated. And one of the biggest luxuries of living alone, for me…is not having someone insist I share my bed with them every single night anymore. No one snoring to ruin my sleep. No one’s multiple trips to the bathroom during the night to interrupt my sleep. No one’s tossing and turning all night, or hogging the blankets…or watching tv in the bedroom when I’m wanting to fall asleep, or wanting sex when I’m dead tired, or sleeping, or first thing in the morning when I haven’t even opened my eyes yet. So intrusive. Sharing a bed with another person became such an unbearable annoyance when I was married…it is one of my biggest reliefs post-divorced. Never again…will I be in a position where I have to share my home, and especially - my bed, every single day (or night)…with another person. Never. A pure luxury…living alone is. 🙏

[@evaellenjoan]

Hey Cheryl! Living alone gives us the freedom to enjoy our own space and sleep without any interruptions for sure. Thank you for sharing your perspective! 🙏

[@JosannaMonik]

One of my girlfriends was visiting me then all of a sudden she had to rush home because her husband called complaining that he was hungry. It's so nice not to have to take care of a man; not to have to cook for, clean up after, always have to be ready for sex for him, etc. I don't need the love and attention of a man; I give that to myself.

[@evaellenjoan]

That sounds liberating, Josanna! It's wonderful that you've found independence and fulfilment in taking care of yourself. Your self-love and empowerment are inspiring. 👏

[@elizabethd3038]

I’m 53 and have been divorced for 20 years and been an empty nester for the last 5 years. No prospects of a relationship and the older I get and the longer I’m alone, the more I want to be alone.

[@evaellenjoan]

Hi Sally, 🌞 That’s wonderful to hear! Living alone can be such a fulfilling experience, especially when it aligns with your preferences. It’s great that you’re enjoying it at 62. If you have any tips or insights on what makes your experience so positive, I’d love to hear them! 🌹

[@margaretstafford9921]

I love living alone too. I am a 63 year old woman and have been happily alone since 2001. I can come and go as I please, have no one else to worry about. I can sleep and get up and eat when and what I want, etc. etc. I am as happy as I could possibly be.

[@evaellenjoan]

Hey Margaret, it's wonderful to hear that you've found such contentment in living alone! It's clear that you've embraced this lifestyle wholeheartedly and are thriving because of it. Thank you for sharing your positive experience - it's a testament to the freedom and joy that can come with being happily alone. 🌻💙

[@mnop1774]

Since 2009, I've been a widow and raised our 2 kids alone. They are now both living away from home and I have learned to adapt and appreciate living alone. I don't think I'd ever want to live with anyone now and I am happy I never remarried. I had a near miss but thankfully I saw the light and ended the relationship before it became legal! Yes, living alone can be incredibly liberating and I have discovered I can be just fine with our without a smart man at my side.

[@evaellenjoan]

It sounds like you've had quite a journey, and it's inspiring to hear how you've found contentment and independence after such significant changes in your life. Your strength and adaptability are admirable. Living alone has clearly empowered you to appreciate your own company and make choices that suit your happiness. Thank you for sharing your story-it's a testament to resilience and self-discovery. 💥💙

I agree and enjoy living alone my freedom is key

[@thermallyinvested]

Fabulously alone, 100% ! I love to live alone for all those reasons you’ve sited, and really enjoyed your unapologetic take ! Thank you! I’ll look forwards to hearing more from you, and congratulations on the new channel. I sometimes feel people I know don’t really believe I choose to live alone because it makes me happy, they certainly don’t feel the same and often assume in an ideal world I’d be living with a partner . I also get invited out a lot because friends think if I’m just kicking about the house by myself I must be bored or lonely. I’m never lonely and I’m very very rarely bored, because I’m already living my ideal life! It’s great to hear I’m not alone in my love of being alone 😁

[@evaellenjoan]

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the video and resonated with the unapologetic perspective on solo living. It's great to hear that you're living your ideal life and finding happiness in solitude. You're definitely not alone in your love for being alone! Looking forward to sharing more with you on the channel! 🌟

I admire you. Your personal growth is reflected in your words. I too am very content with my own company and love my independence and personal space. After years of serving others in the family, it gives me wings to have freedom to look after myself, my way. Once you have that feeling, its hard to go back. I have enough family and friends close by to satisy my social needs, but i have no unwanted obligations that i have to endure. Its a great feeling to be in control of your own life. Great video. I enjoyed it.

Hi Mita! Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful message. 😊 I'm glad to hear that you resonate with the message of personal growth and finding happiness in your own company. It's empowering to embrace independence and prioritize self-care after years of serving others. Having the freedom to live life on your own terms is truly liberating. 🌼

I choose to live on my own, that is because I love my own company. However, sometimes I do worry, what if I fall sick..!!

[@evaellenjoan]

Angela, it's wonderful that you've found joy in your own company and chosen to live independently. 🍀 Concerns about falling ill are natural, but there are steps you can take to prepare for such situations. Maintaining a strong support network of friends, neighbors, or family members who can assist if needed can provide peace of mind. Additionally, having a plan in place, such as keeping emergency contacts handy and ensuring you have access to medical resources, can help alleviate those worries. Take care and continue enjoying the independence that brings you happiness! I'll make sure to make a video on this topic soon! 🌻

[@HaveWhatBringsMeJoy]

P.S. This morning many of my things were gone, I was livid. So I finally said something to the guy. He's throwing some of my things away and putting things in different places. So annoying.

[@evaellenjoan]

I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with that. It’s incredibly frustrating when someone doesn’t respect your belongings or your space. I hope your conversation with him helps to address the issue and prevent further frustration.🙏

[@MrJBest78]

I’ve learned that just because I am single, that doesn’t mean that I am always lonely. Just because I’m doing my shift at a busy grocery store, at an arena at a concert surrounded by 30,000 people or at a packed restaurant with family members doesn’t mean that I’m NOT alone!

[@evaellenjoan]

Absolutely! 👍 Being single doesn't equate to loneliness, especially when you're surrounded by people or engaged in activities you enjoy. It's about finding contentment and connection in various moments, whether alone or in the company of others. Thanks for sharing your perspective! 💥

[@joycegonzales4994]

I guess the things I worry about if my husband passed, is security, someone to get things done besides paying all the time, and loneliness, although I am an introvert also

[@evaellenjoan]

Joyce, it's understandable to have concerns about security and managing tasks alone, especially after losing a spouse. ❤ It's great that you've identified these challenges early on. Many people find ways to address these concerns through planning, support networks, or even exploring new hobbies or social activities to combat loneliness. Your self-awareness as an introvert can also be a strength in finding fulfilling ways to enjoy your own company. As for things being done besides paying all the time, there are solutions... I could make a video on that for you soon! 🍀

Hi Dr. Logan. 🌻 Living alone doesn't mean giving up on love or that someone is not in a relationship. I've had a meaningful, long-lasting relationship where we practised LAT, each maintaining our own homes while still being committed to each other. It's about finding a relationship style that suits your personal preferences and circumstances, and what matters most is finding what brings joy and contentment.💙

It sounds dangerous and lonely men and women are meant to be together To serve one another Your life sounds so superficial self centred and lost.

[@nikkimarie2556]

We all have a right to shape and live our lives as we see fit without feeling the need to put down or criticise others 😊

[@evaellenjoan]

Hi Lisa, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate your concern and the opportunity to explain my perspective further. Living alone doesn’t necessarily equate to being lonely or dangerous. It's a choice I've made for several reasons, and it brings me peace and fulfilment. Here are some points to consider: *I lived with my life partner until he suddenly passed away. Living alone was not a choice back then; it was put upon me, and I am happy that I learned how to live happily on my own. Here in Spain, at least, it is normal that you stay alone at home after your partner dies, so it is nothing out of the ordinary that I choose to do so. *Still today, I continue to serve others extensively, dedicating about 50 - 60 hours a month to volunteer work. This commitment ensures I'm engaged with the community and surrounded by people, even virtually. *As an introvert, I need alone time to recharge. This self-care allows me to be more present and effective in my interactions with others. *For over 45 years now, I've dedicated myself to serving both humans and animals. I've always prioritized giving to others, often at the expense of my own needs and health. *Being self-employed, I interact with many people daily. The few hours I spend alone at home are crucial for my well-being, allowing me to maintain a healthy balance and continue my service effectively. *Being alone and being lonely are not the same. Solitude can be enriching and empowering, providing a necessary space for reflection and self-care. I hope this clarifies why living alone is a positive and nurturing choice for me. It’s not about being superficial or self-centered; rather, it's about finding a sustainable way to continue giving to others while also caring a bit for myself in those few hours I have to myself every day.
