Living on my own or Living with my family (Kyae Kyae Hlaing)

 

Living on my own or Living with my family

Many people want to spend their life with their family while some prefer to live on their own for several reasons. We can get a sense of love, kindness and also mental and physical  support through living with family. However, we can be independent and peaceful if we stay alone. I personally prefer to live on my own .This essay will explain some merits and demerits of living alone.

To begin with, as I am an introverted person, sometimes I can't bear a lot of noise.  If  I live with my family, I don't  get any calm and quiet when I want. For instance, even as I read a book, I can't get in a  good mood because of the environment's noise. Subsequently, I can manage the volume of the TV, phone's ringing and also the voice of other people if I live on my own. 

And secondly, as I am the youth, I am happy being independent. Although it really is something special to have a good relationship with my family for a long time,  this situation occasionally creates us to rely on others too much. Not willing to do everything actively, I am always a couch potato  as I know that my mom is cooking for me and also my dad can make money. If I live on my own, I need to do and plan everything on my own. So, I don't waste most of my time without doing anything. 

Thirdly, being on my own can make me stronger and lift up my life better. Assume that when we live with our family members who you care about, most of your time will be spent worrying about them and the needs of them, rather than just the needs of ourselves. When I live on my own, I can see clearly what I need. My decision, thoughts and passion become more powerful. 

On the other hand, living with the family makes me safe and warm. We can share a meaningful conversation, a source of love and kindness. In addition, when I suffer from depression, only my family can support me.

In conclusion, good points and bad points come along in every circumstance. The most thing we need to learn is that  we have to resist what we encounter in our life. From my point of view, as I am a young person, I want to experience  new problems, adventure, in other words, how to transition throughout my life. Therefore, I prefer living on my own to living with my family.
