Funny how when you're a kid, you always wanted to be home alone, then when you reach adulthood, suddenly that shit aint funny anymore, it's bleak...
fuck that, it's bliss
Give it time.
As an adult I can drive to see other people or have them over, but also can choose to just be alone too!
That’s why people have hobbies
That's why people have pets
And partners
I think for most kids not being under constant supervision is what sweetens the deal.
But once you're an adult you don't really need to answer to anyone, so now you're only getting the downsides...
But given the choice of relative freedom vs. having to live with someone who I don't really get along with, I'd pick the former. Even if it means being alone more often.
Original hedonism:
Withold pleasure so it feels intense when you get it.
