Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 108 : The choice of companionship or solitude; which suits you best?

Our life is full of different choices. Some people like to live alone for their own peace. Some people can not imagine single day without someone beside them. I have experienced both sides. Solitude teach strength but companionship bring warmth. Today, I am going to share my honest feelings about both ways of living.

◉What do you think are the biggest advantages and disadvantages of living alone compared to living with someone?

Living alone give us peace. We can do whatever we want. No one question our choices. It teach us how to be strong and understand ourself better. But sometimes, silence become heavy. When we sick or sad, no one around to care. Living with someone bring joy, care and shared laughter. But it also bring little fights, less privacy and sometimes stress. Both sides have light and dark. I think it depends on heart, some find peace in quiet, others find peace in company. I like to live with someone.

◉ Do you believe living with someone helps improve emotional well-being, or can it sometimes limit personal growth? Why?

Yes, living with someone mostly help us emotions. When we have bad day, they listen. Their smile give us strength. We feel not alone in world. It teach us patience, love and how to understand people. But sometimes it limit our space. We start thinking for other, forget our own self. In this case my thought , balance is key. We all need spend few time alone to grow. But we also need someone to remind us that life is not for live alone. So living with someone help to improve emotional well being.

◉At what stage in life do you think it’s best to live alone, and when is it better to share your space with someone?

In young age, living alone is good. It make us strong, we learn to handle life, money and emotions. We know our own value. But when we grow older, heart want company. Sharing space with someone make life warm. We feel support, we laugh together, we cry together. Old age need love more than silence. So first learn to stand alone, then share our world with someone who truly care. That is the real peace.

◉If you had to choose between peace and companionship, which would you prioritize in your living situation and what shaped that choice?

I will choose companionship without thinking more. Peace is beautiful, but silence can break our heart. I have seen days when no one talk and it feel empty inside. When someone sit near and listen, even small talk heal deep pain. Companionship give peace from inside. I believe peace is not in walls, it’s in hearts around us. I choose this because I value feelings more than freedom. Life is short, but love make it worth living.
