Ive lived alone for 2 years now and its a real love/hate thing. I love the fact that the whole flat is mine and i can keep it as tidy or messy as i like, i can make noise whenever I want, and watch whatever I want... however it is very lonely, and I do find it hard to make plans with people as all my friends are coupled up and reluctant to sacrifice time with their loved ones to spend time with me... god that sounds awful, but its true! I end up going out places alone a lot, just to get out the house. Sometimes i think it would be nice to have house mates.
Lizzy! I have a tip for the vase! When I have flowers with short stems I use the plastic wrap that the flowers came in, scrunch it up and stuff it down into the vase. It raises the water level (so you don't have to use as much) and keeps the stems raised up. A florist friend told me this and I was so grateful for it!
Kudos Lizzy! Every girl should have the experience of living on her own (with or without roommates). It'll help build confidence and make you a well rounded woman. Going from living with your parents to living with a spouse will make you feel like you missed out on being an independent and strong person.
Just discovered your channel recently Lizzie and love it! I'm an Aussie but I lived in Leeds for a semester on exchange ☺️ I'm super independent and look forward to living on my own, I love the quiet of having a night to myself so this was a great topic! x
I lived alone for 2 years, and it was the time of my life that I constantly want to go back to. Even though it was lonely, boring and sometimes unhappy, I learned so much more about being comfortable with myself and being a truly independent woman (thanks to all the heavy costco groceries I needed to carry home). Because of those 2 years, I will never feel bored by oneself, never feel uncomfortable eating alone, or never longing for unnecessary companies. I know now that I am the best company I have for myself, and I have so much more to offer to myself. Thank you Lizzy for sharing! you are the best!
It was really lovely to get to "know" you a little bit more through this video Lizzy, thank you for sharing and I wish you so many good things for your future and personal growth xx
Seeing you grow like this throught these past few months has been so inspiring. But seeing you this happy about life is definitely the best part of it. You're such an amazing woman Lizzy! Thank you for your daily wisdom xx
Your content is so good! Your last lookbook was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and this video is so down to earth. I think a lot of people strugle with living alone because they assume that that is not normal to have low days or feel lonely. It's super normal and your advice was on point. It was very kind of you to share your experience for anyone needing it! And yeah you should be super proud of yourself Lizzy 🙌
so validating - thank you! I live alone and have for a long time, and as an extravert (which it sounds like you are too) it can be challenging to get the amount of social interaction I need to not just feel miserable and lonely, as you note. but regular classes and appointments and all definitely help.
Thank you so much for making this video, Lizzy! This is my very first comment on UA-cam as I've been always hesitated to do that, meaning this video is just too incredible so I couldn't stop myself jumping into writing this comment right away. It has been so hard to get through things in my whole twenties, and it seems not to be ending yet although I experienced some huge changes in the end of my twenties and my first year in thirties. For the last few days, I felt so down and even angry at myself not being able to be tough enough and didn't know how to deal with this annoying emotions. Your video has just helped me to come out of the rut and feel a possibility to take an initiative in my own life. Sorry for this lengthy message, I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will always look forward to watching/reading your contents on UA-cam and your blog :). Huge thanks and very best wishes, Natsumi
I've been a bit behind on my youtube subs and only just watched this video now. I don't know if you will see this, but I wanted to tell you how much I genuinely loved and admired this video. I've been out of uni for almost 2 years now, and am still living at home. I decided last year I wanted to step back from my job and try to really make a go of being freelance and while I'm unsure of much money I've got coming in I wanted to stay financially stable in some way, and living at home was the way to do that. My end goal is to move out and live on my own somewhere and a lot of the questions you got are genuine fears that I had about it. Especially since, like you, I had a really rough time from November through January and am only just coming out of it. A lot of life changes and severe anxiety kind of fucked me up a bit for a while, and everything you said about getting through your days and counting down the hours until you could reasonably go to bed, things like that I related to so much. While I'm on a bit of a self-realisation journey now, I had been hoping that eventually living on my own would help improve that even further and you've kind of given me the faith that it will and that living on my own won't actually be as scary as I thought it would be. This was a really inspiring one Lizzy and i'm really glad you did this video.
I have lived alone now for quite a while. My difference is I have a son, he is 6 now, but from the age of 2 he was in bed from 7.30pm, and am alone until I choose to go to bed. With a child, you cannot leave, its suffocating at times, knowing I cannot leave, I cannot do anything other than be here. But funnily enough I think it has grown me as a person. I know myself now, I know me better than I know anyone, and I know my likes and dislikes. All of the mess in my home is ours (mostly my sons - lego) But I think it is important for anyone to live alone, you learn so much about yourself, and you learn how to be alone and live with your own company. I have found it can also make you better in relationships too, because over time lonliness is almost impossible, so you know if you are choosing to be with someone it isn't because you are lonely - its because you genuinely like them! It is also very productive, and very motivating... its the reason why I am back at college and applying to uni alongside working, and it is the reason why my blog is doing so well at the moment. Living alone can be incredible, and I really do hope you make the most out of it! :)
Oh my gosh Lizzy you expressed your answers so well, I really appreciate your advice for the question about what to do when you're feeling down! I've been loving Lindsey's reset series, and would love to hear more of the things which help you when you're in a low mood? Lots of love xxx
Oh Lizzy. You're such an inspiration. I wish I'd found this strength when I was in this exact situation. I just dated constantly instead of growing and getting happier with myself. Luckily I found a relationship I could grow and learn about myself from within, but it would feel more liberating your way! Love all your content nowadays. You have every right to be very proud of yourself!
Such an interesting Q&A Lizzy! I found it so inspiring and helpful. I myself have moved from my family in Denmark to London to study in fashion and pursue my dreams here. Sometimes it can be very helpful and interesting to listen to others experiences with moving to a new city, living alone etc. as it can be hard from time to time (though I love London SO MUCH). Thank you so much for this video! You're always super motivating
So happy and glad you talked about all this. I’m about to go through all this and it’s lovely to get some tips and know there’s people in similar situations. 💕
I absolutely loved this! I have been living alone for over a year now and although it was the hardest thing I have ever done, it has by far been the best and I feel as though I am becoming a much stronger woman because of it. Completely agree about forcing yourself to be social though, I can go an entire day (sometimes longer!) without speaking to another person and it is really something I am trying to work on xx
I would love to hear more about the way you cope with feeling down at times! It would be really helpful as I too sometimes share this feeling and I often struggle with finding ways to deal with it. It's an interesting topic for sure and I think it would help others if you talked about it, especially because you express yourself so well.
It’s very inspirational since many other bloggers I followed are in stable relationships and living with partners. It’s really helpful to hear from you:)
Thank you so much for this. Seeing that I am not alone in this has made me feel better about living on my own. Also I am feeling a bit motivated now. Love it!
I never comment, but this is the most amazing video! You are such an inspiration. Everything was so beautifully put. Thank you for the honesty, openness and great advice Lizzy ❤️
I was in a relationship for 7 years and we broke up in November, so it’s so weird living on my own now but I’m going to take ur advice in making sure I make plans to not be alone and follow thru with them lol
Thank you Lizzy for this video, I really loved it. My boyfriend has moved for three months abroad and your video really made me so happy :). O and I have an other question, where are your necklaces from? And also your jumper/cardigan? :)
I don’t now if this is to personal but I love to see how you financially do everything. So what is you’re income a month, how much do you pay for you’re house, you’re grocery, clothing, insurance, on coffee, on eating out, water, electricity, gifts, can you safe etc etc. again it might be to personal, but for people who are thing about going to live on there own and just to have an idea what’s you’re life about on that part would be very interesting. Kind regards. Esmeralda
This was truly inspiring Lizzy. Especially when you're with someone for a very long time, it's easy to get used to never do anything on your own. I really enjoyed hearing your experience and point of view, it was very motivating! I'd love to see more of this kind of videos in various topics from you in the future!
I lived alone for 8 years from 25 to 33 and it was the BEST time of my life. I learned how to care for myself, budget my money, I am my best company. That is the best feeling when you don't need someone to be next to you, that you don't get bored alone.
I’ve recently broken up with my partner, and am about to live alone. I’m excited for the growth I know I will experience, but nervous all the same. It’s been really inspirational to watch you grow over the last 7 months, and I look forward to seeing how you grow more over the year ahead. 💛
I don't live alone but your question about feeling down really touched a cord. Your explanation about finding little moments of happiness which will come more frequently was such a lovely reminder - thank you for that!
I moved to my boyfriend’s city to live with him, however he works opposite shifts so there are sometimes whole weeks when we wind up not crossing paths despite living together and of course I am away from my home/family. We recently have got a puppy as we both felt that we were alone a lot but wanted to commit to being together. I think for us it was the missing piece. She encourages us to go outside when otherwise we might sit stewing at home. It also means when we both come home there’s someone waiting and she gives us a reason to get up and do things as she still needs looking after no matter how we feel that day. I appreciate a puppy isn’t the answer for everyone but just think it’s interesting how different people get on with being ‘alone’ :) ps... I need the deets for this cosy cardi, it looks like perfect cosy Sunday material ☀️
Wow Lizzy ! this has come at a perfect time for me, I am about to leave home to study and giving your experience of living alone and making new friends in a new city has given me so much confidence in myself that I can do this ! thank you for sharing you personal journey, truely inspiring
Thank you for this video! I'm currently going through a break up and I am considering moving into a flat on my own soon, and you've pretty much answered most of the questions in my head. You're a lovely person! :) xxx
I'm going to move into my own apartment very soon, so this video was very helpful for me. I am so excited to live on my own for the first time as well! You are such an inspiration to me considering your work ethic and what you have achieved at your age. I am the same age as you and I still feel very lost at times regarding my career path and finding the motivation. But your videos definitely help me feel more motivated! xx
Since the video you made about the breakup I have been following you even more, since I have been going through a very similar process (breaking up with my long-term boyfriend and moving out, living alone etc), and I think that you are such a brave woman and a true inspiration for me! Thank you for being who you, which to me is such a #bosslady!
Dear Lizzy, what a joy it is to watch your videos. You're such a beautiful inspiration. I love what you transmit to me: confidence, power of organisation and planning, style. You're such a lovely person. Thank you for sharing your experiences. x
I really feel connected to you I wish we knew eachother I’m crossing my fingers that we will meet eventually which I’m sure we will i wouldn’t see why not I consider you a friend already ❤️❤️
It is very important to me to hear you speak so honestly and refreshingly about how you cope with being alone and experiencing low moods. I would certainly want and really appreciate you speak more on the subject. I find that you radiate confidence when it comes to dealing with your tough times, and because of that I feel like I can learn a lot from you on the subject. I'd also love it if you could share a bit more about whether you lean on your friends during those times, and how (and how much) they are there for you. I had a bad experience in uni where I leaned on a friend who I thought was my best friend at the time, and she totally rejected me and cut off our friendship (she said that I wasn't smiling enough) and since then I've always been awkward and hesitant about truly being open with my friends and leaning on them when I feel low as I fear the same rejection happening again and being devastated in the same way again.
Your life sounds like bliss Lizzie, I cannot stress how much I want to live alone. Currently in a flatshare in London after living at home in Harrogate and I am having the same experience you're talking about. It's easier cause I'm still at uni but also feel trapped because I don't have the same freedom/space to do what I want and it's really tough. Guess it's all a learning process.
I have lived with my husband for 13 years (and children for a few years), and I look upon my years alone fondly. 😊 To be alone in my house is such a rarity! Enjoy your time, Lizzy.
this was such a helpful video lizzy. I really loved the way you explained everything it was very clear and honest, and the way you spoke about your relationship with Harry and and growing up in your 20's together reminded me of me and my boyfriend. I do wonder what more I can learn about myself and I would love to see a video of what you have learnt so far and how you think you have grown bc you definitely have!! I love your videos so much ☺️
This was a great video. I’m sure you helped so many people by being so open and honest. Also, thanks for reading my question. I was thrilled to hear your answer. I️ couldn’t be more happy for you. Cheers!
Such well thought out and considerate answers I thought - especially when talking about your previous relationship and dealing with feeling down really touched a cord with me and was a reminder to just try and see tiny steps as real achievements no matter how small, so refreshing to see such considered and honest answers!
Lizzy just watching and listening you talk about independency and growing as a person after you started living on your own is so encouraging and helpful for those who are struggling to make that big move. Thank you for this!
This video is so helpful! I'm planning to move on my own to London next year (from Canada) so the loneliness questions and adapting to a new city were very insightful. And btw your content is so lovely lately!x
Hi Lizzie! You are a true inspiration to other young women! I can only imagine how proud your mom must feel watching you grow into such a strong and lovely person. You have evolved in so many ways and it has been a pleasure to be witness to this growth. Thank you for letting us into your life, all the good the bad and the ugly. You have truly found a way to deal with the bad and the ugly and shine in the good! Keep up the great work and have fun with life!
Im living with somebody now, but watchinh this video took me back to when lived alone. Sometimes it can definitely get lonely but at the same time its great to have complete control and freedom. Decorating my way and having my cats all over wasy favorite part lol
Great video! If you do decide to continue to live in London, what other area of London would you move to. Or will you continue to live in Notting Hill?
This was really informative Lizzie, thanks for sharing. Do you rent your flat or you bought it? I’m at a stage where I’m looking to buy my own flat but I’m partly considering staying living with parents and waiting to buy somewhere bigger with a future partner. But then I’m conscious of looking for a partner to fulfil this but I don’t want to force something that isn’t natural. Argh life decisions are tricky!
dldl You should go ahead and buy something on your own if you have the means! It's a great investment and you can sell it when u find that special someone.
MesRevesEnRose yes, put in simple terms that makes sense. But solicitor fees alone are in the thousands so I’m aware that patience may be the key. It’s difficult.
Absolutely brilliant video! I feel the way that you and Lindsey are both tackling these often taboo subject s is really refreshing, as much as I love your style videos its great that you use your platform in this way too because, as im sure we all know, social media can often be isolating when you feel down so thank you :.) Also one thing I always think when feeling down is this feeling will pass as know feeling ever lasts so hope that may also help. X
This video is very mind boggling. I started to realize that I liked you so much more before her breakup and whilst you were living in manchester. Your personality comes across different in that I feel you exaggerate more or are more sarcastic (actually a little excessive) and are quite clingy. Of course your vlogs are just a slight part of your life that im watching but you saying how its a HUGE financial step....and still making extreme purchases like designer chairs....its just not logical and an exaggeration or misperception of how you are currently. This video just taught me that there are SO MANY people afraid of living/being alone. I have always thought that people should love themselves and enjoy their own company and not rely on others for that company. I distance myself from friends who cannot live without having a boyfriend at all times or are so busy they cant concentrate on the present and are texting somebody else to meet up while meeting up with someone. But watching lizzy becoming so different after such a breakup, im coming to realize that some people are more concentrated when they have people to rely onto and cling on

Thats so true.ppl when they have someone tend to spend less time with friends.thats not necessarilly bad but its hard when you are or become single.
And I do have the feeling that these days almost everyone is in a relationship! Which is nice, but makes it for us difficult
Michelle Hembury its weird but i have the same feeling 😂😢😢😐
Jessica Walford ,
I feel you, I do wonder what it would be like to have someone pretty much always on hand to do things with.
Lizzy! I have a tip for the vase! When I have flowers with short stems I use the plastic wrap that the flowers came in, scrunch it up and stuff it down into the vase. It raises the water level (so you don't have to use as much) and keeps the stems raised up. A florist friend told me this and I was so grateful for it!

Loved this video, it fits my current situation so much and I love seeing other young women going stronger and stronger on their own
It’s very inspirational since many other bloggers I followed are in stable relationships and living with partners. It’s really helpful to hear from you:)
Lizzie your so great! Keep up the great videos! I love the love you have for your apartment ❤️ you make me want to live alone even more !
Thank you so much for this. Seeing that I am not alone in this has made me feel better about living on my own. Also I am feeling a bit motivated now. Love it!

You're such a lovely person Lizzy, very authentic!
Just discovered and subscribed to your channel. Loving what I've seen so far! Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future!
I've lived alone since I was 22. Love it!
I was in a relationship for 7 years and we broke up in November, so it’s so weird living on my own now but I’m going to take ur advice in making sure I make plans to not be alone and follow thru with them lol

Hey Lizzy! I was just wondering if you went into full-time blogging straight after finishing University, or did you have a different job first?
I love this Lizzy - found it really interesting and helpful! I want to eventually move out on my own (hopefully sometime soon haha!) xxx
***VERY HONEST VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING. IVE LIVED IN LONDON ALL MY LIFE. LOVE YOUR ACCENT BTW :)***
Loved this video! It was very inspirational x
******COME TO CAMDEN TOWN*****
made me cry
Where are shoes from? The ones with the white shirt :)
A little jug to siphon off the water in the jug bit by bit 😉
Is UA-cam your only job? Love ya
No, she said once that her main income comes from her blog.
wax is spoiling that beautiful fire surround. irresponsible and a mare to remove
Who takes ur pictures? Lol 😂
just curious, how do you afford such a lifestyle - is it your blog, YT, family? seems like you're living the dream Lizzy! xx
This was truly inspiring Lizzy. Especially when you're with someone for a very long time, it's easy to get used to never do anything on your own.

I absolutely lOVE your personality, how honest, down to earth and just bloody lovely you are! Really sets you apart x
I've been married for 12 years and I wish I lived alone 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved this Lizzy!x
Well done Lizzy. Your growing confidence shines through xx
Wow Lizzy ! this has come at a perfect time for me, I am about to leave home to study and giving your experience of living alone and making new friends in a new city has given me so much confidence in myself that I can do this ! thank you for sharing you personal journey, truely inspiring
Yess you can 100000% do it! Will be scary but the best things happen outside your comfort zone xxx
Thank you for this video! I'm currently going through a break up and I am considering moving into a flat on my own soon, and you've pretty much answered most of the questions in my head. You're a lovely person! :) xxx
I can relate to missing having a second person around for the extra physical strength and height for some tasks!!!
Great video. But what sweater are you wearing?!? 💁🏾😊💁🏾
The vase thing.. a glove, any king of glass i dont particulury like and until its half empty.. thn pick it up 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 #strong😉
You read my mind Liz. Helpful, thanks!
Loved this video. So glad you posted this!
*****I CAN OPEN JARS. CHANGE LIGHT BULBS. KILL SPIDERS AND GIVE YOU BIG HUGS!!******
Thank you for being so honest:)
I'm going to move into my own apartment very soon, so this video was very helpful for me. I am so excited to live on my own for the first time as well! You are such an inspiration to me considering your work ethic and what you have achieved at your age. I am the same age as you and I still feel very lost at times regarding my career path and finding the motivation. But your videos definitely help me feel more motivated! xx
This was great Lizzy. Glad to know youre holding up well.
great topic hun love all your content x
Your videos always comes out when i need, i'm living the same situation and your advice is an encouragment. keep it up girl!!
Since the video you made about the breakup I have been following you even more, since I have been going through a very similar process (breaking up with my long-term boyfriend and moving out, living alone etc), and I think that you are such a brave woman and a true inspiration for me! Thank you for being who you, which to me is such a #bosslady!
What video did she talk about the breakup? I completely missed it!
Your hair looks so good
I hope things are going well.
💌🕊✨
Dear Lizzy, what a joy it is to watch your videos. You're such a beautiful inspiration. I love what you transmit to me: confidence, power of organisation and planning, style. You're such a lovely person. Thank you for sharing your experiences. x
I really feel connected to you I wish we knew eachother I’m crossing my fingers that we will meet eventually which I’m sure we will i wouldn’t see why not I consider you a friend already ❤️❤️
It is very important to me to hear you speak so honestly and refreshingly about how you cope with being alone and experiencing low moods. I would certainly want and really appreciate you speak more on the subject. I find that you radiate confidence when it comes to dealing with your tough times, and because of that I feel like I can learn a lot from you on the subject. I'd also love it if you could share a bit more about whether you lean on your friends during those times, and how (and how much) they are there for you. I had a bad experience in uni where I leaned on a friend who I thought was my best friend at the time, and she totally rejected me and cut off our friendship (she said that I wasn't smiling enough) and since then I've always been awkward and hesitant about truly being open with my friends and leaning on them when I feel low as I fear the same rejection happening again and being devastated in the same way again.
Your life sounds like bliss Lizzie, I cannot stress how much I want to live alone. Currently in a flatshare in London after living at home in Harrogate and I am having the same experience you're talking about. It's easier cause I'm still at uni but also feel trapped because I don't have the same freedom/space to do what I want and it's really tough. Guess it's all a learning process.
I have lived with my husband for 13 years (and children for a few years), and I look upon my years alone fondly. 😊 To be alone in my house is such a rarity! Enjoy your time, Lizzy.
this was such a helpful video lizzy. I really loved the way you explained everything it was very clear and honest, and the way you spoke about your relationship with Harry and and growing up in your 20's together reminded me of me and my boyfriend. I do wonder what more I can learn about myself and I would love to see a video of what you have learnt so far and how you think you have grown bc you definitely have!! I love your videos so much ☺️
This was a great video. I’m sure you helped so many people by being so open and honest. Also, thanks for reading my question. I was thrilled to hear your answer. I️ couldn’t be more happy for you. Cheers!
Such well thought out and considerate answers I thought - especially when talking about your previous relationship and dealing with feeling down really touched a cord with me and was a reminder to just try and see tiny steps as real achievements no matter how small, so refreshing to see such considered and honest answers!
Lizzy just watching and listening you talk about independency and growing as a person after you started living on your own is so encouraging and helpful for those who are struggling to make that big move. Thank you for this!
This video is so helpful! I'm planning to move on my own to London next year (from Canada) so the loneliness questions and adapting to a new city were very insightful. And btw your content is so lovely lately!x
Thanks for posting this video! Would love to see a video on how to combat with low days/periods!
Its hard breaking up and "building" ur life from zero. You did it anyways.i watched all ur videos all those 7 months.😍
Hi Lizzie! You are a true inspiration to other young women! I can only imagine how proud your mom must feel watching you grow into such a strong and lovely person. You have evolved in so many ways and it has been a pleasure to be witness to this growth. Thank you for letting us into your life, all the good the bad and the ugly. You have truly found a way to deal with the bad and the ugly and shine in the good! Keep up the great work and have fun with life!
Im living with somebody now, but watchinh this video took me back to when lived alone. Sometimes it can definitely get lonely but at the same time its great to have complete control and freedom. Decorating my way and having my cats all over wasy favorite part lol
Another really helpful video lol. Thanks for this Lizzy. Keep being true to yourself because you're a good seed!
As someone going through similar life changes at the moment, I found this video very inspiring. Thank you for your candor!
thanks for being so frank and honest, im going through a similar situation and ive learnt so much about myself, i love all of your videos Lizzy
Thank you for answering my question about the new friends in a new city bit! Really appreciate it
Very inspiring and wise. Thank you for the great advice.
It is so helpful to talk about coping with feeling down. If you’d like to share, please do!
Great video! If you do decide to continue to live in London, what other area of London would you move to. Or will you continue to live in Notting Hill?
Loved this video Lizzy! Can't wait to be able to experience living on my own
I love this! Especially about doing things on your own x
Great video xxx what is the name of the plant behide you over the fire place ?
This was really informative Lizzie, thanks for sharing. Do you rent your flat or you bought it? I’m at a stage where I’m looking to buy my own flat but I’m partly considering staying living with parents and waiting to buy somewhere bigger with a future partner. But then I’m conscious of looking for a partner to fulfil this but I don’t want to force something that isn’t natural. Argh life decisions are tricky!
dldl You should go ahead and buy something on your own if you have the means! It's a great investment and you can sell it when u find that special someone.
MesRevesEnRose yes, put in simple terms that makes sense. But solicitor fees alone are in the thousands so I’m aware that patience may be the key. It’s difficult.
Absolutely brilliant video! I feel the way that you and Lindsey are both tackling these often taboo subject s is really refreshing, as much as I love your style videos its great that you use your platform in this way too because, as im sure we all know, social media can often be isolating when you feel down so thank you :.) Also one thing I always think when feeling down is this feeling will pass as know feeling ever lasts so hope that may also help. X
taboo? how someone lives?
The taboo was in reference to loneliness of living alone and how it isn't very often that this is spoken about.
one top tip for single women in their twenties. FREEZE YOUR EGGS. PLEASE LOOK IN TO IT.
This video is very mind boggling. I started to realize that I liked you so much more before her breakup and whilst you were living in manchester. Your personality comes across different in that I feel you exaggerate more or are more sarcastic (actually a little excessive) and are quite clingy. Of course your vlogs are just a slight part of your life that im watching but you saying how its a HUGE financial step....and still making extreme purchases like designer chairs....its just not logical and an exaggeration or misperception of how you are currently.
This video just taught me that there are SO MANY people afraid of living/being alone. I have always thought that people should love themselves and enjoy their own company and not rely on others for that company. I distance myself from friends who cannot live without having a boyfriend at all times or are so busy they cant concentrate on the present and are texting somebody else to meet up while meeting up with someone. But watching lizzy becoming so different after such a breakup, im coming to realize that some people are more concentrated when they have people to rely onto and cling on
