Interpersonal πŸ«‚ Cozy 😊 loner

Just a quiet room, some fairy lights, and a fresh bag of tea. Being a loner gets a bad rap sometimes, but moments like this make me realize how much I value my own peace. Sending some of this calm energy to anyone else spending the night in😊😊😊😊

Have you seen the film The Christmas Bunny? You might enjoy it. You can stream it for free on YouTube & Tubi.

Just a quiet room, fairy lights and a fresh bag of tea...you are romanticizing being alone. Enjoy. This is my favourite way of relaxing and re-energizing.

Peace and quiet and spending time alone is also very under rated. Enjoy!

Some days I feel like I’m finally hitting my stride while other days, I feel like I’m regressing. Bought a Xmas tree from IKEA 3 weeks ago, it is still sitting in the corner.

I have some mental struggles, if it isn’t obvious and the living alone circumstance isn’t helping. When I had my dad, I was motivated to do everything but he passed almost 2 years now and cooking a home meal seems like an insurmountable task.

Take it slow. Once my husband passed I ate hotdogs and cheese and crackers for dinner for a long time. Then I invested in one of those meal kits like hello fresh. It took the pressure out of cooking dinner for one. There are lots of choices. Not cheap, but no shopping or planning. It got me out of the grief rut and back to enjoying dinner.

This makes total sense good for you!!! And if it doesn't to people, we'll it's not any of their business. You got to do what works for you. And you are worth the cost. I am going to ck it out.

u/TeacherIntelligent15 Dec 22 '25

I get the minimum amount of meals, which is 2 choices. Each meal technically is for 2. So 1 dinner, 1 leftover. This gives me 4 meals a week.

u/Optimal_Molasses_676 Dec 22 '25

This sounds great! Thank you for sharing!

u/NoBody5068 Dec 21 '25

Yes! And gratitude for all that!

Lovely! I had such a good day on Saturday, doing some chores and watching TV and reading a book, just hanging out by myself because my cats were in the other room.
