Today I'm getting real about what's it's REALLY like to LIVE ALONE! I've been living solo for 4 years, and I feel like there can be a lot of misconceptions and romanticizing of the living alone experience, so I wanted to share my honest thoughts.
Side note: the beginning of this video is mildly out-of-focus (and I was in the process of getting a cold), so apologies for that — but didn't want to miss an upload! 😅
